He sprays it all over the place.” Magic Johnson is the consumate basketball player. Bob Cousy, ex-Celtic star, says Bird is the best he's ever seen. Larry Bird, beams Cousy, can do it all. He's so fundamentally sound. This year’s M V P will be dcided after the playoffs and if the media has anything to do with it ...then it's Bird by a landslide. Rumors are flying and the latest has Kevin l.aughery, Chicago Bull coach, going to Kansas C ity . But put little faith in that deal. Remem ber, Reggie, their's is now playing in Boston's a ll-p ro forward Larry Bird and the Laker’s all-pro guard Magic Johnson carry the load for their respective teams For the past three years, they have been the sub ject of many debates concerning which is the better palyer.

Houston Rocket's general manager Ray Patterson, who already has Ralph Sampson under tw o, says he would not think of trading Akeem O laju w on It is reported that Houston receives calls daily inquiring about M r. Akeem. There have been rumors that Houston might trade Olajuwon for some proven veterans Philadelphia has reportedly asked Chicago to draft Michael Jordan. Philly would then send guard A n drew Toney and forw ard Bobby Jones plus a 1985 first-round choice. Chicago is in dire need o f a big man, but is leaning toward the 6 ’6” Jordan. O k a y , I guess we would be terribly remiss if we ignored the big blockbuster trade made by the Blazers. Yes, I've heard all the talk and must admit that 99 9 percent have been against. Let's see now. Wasn't it Fat Lever, Wayne Cooper and Calvin Natt to Denver for, uh, uh, Kiki Van de Weghe? And didn’t they also throw in two draft choices? When news finally hit, it was indeed startling. The first in clination here was to the feelings of C alvin N a tt. C a lv in , a bona fide star, must have been hurt. And it does hurt a little to hear both Jack Ramsay and Stu Inm an talk negatively about N a ll's abilities. The deal is made and Denver is the winner. Calvin Natt straight up with Denver would have made Den ver the winner. Pat Lever will come back to haunt P ortland Lever is going to be premier point guard in this league. Remember, Ramsay, when asked, always declined judgement as to which was the bet ter player. Valentine emerged be cause of his playoff performance. If Valentine was a better penetrator, then Pat had the better outside shot. Everything else appeared equal On Wayne C opper: C oop is as good a back-up center as there is in the NBA. Back-up centers are worth their weight in gold. It's small won der that Denver has received so many calls pertaining to Cooper’s services. Some viewers on the trade say that it's strictly money and the cap. Some see the move necessary to sign both Sam Bowie and veteran Jim Paxson. The unloading of the salaries was the prim ary concern, the bodies were not. Some see the trade as a on-on-one deal involving only Natt and Van de Weghe. Port land says they ned outside shooting because teams are now packing it in making it harder and harder to gel the easy shot.
