** lf you're open ...whoosh. He
gets you the ball. Magic is a juicer.
He's a juice man. 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

Magic Johnson carry the load for
their respective teams For the past
three years, they have been the sub­

which is the better palyer. If Sun's
coach John M a tle o d had a vote,
here's how it would go: " I ' d take

KC and reunion with Laughery is
highly improbable.
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.
Stu Inman tells us that the past
P layo ff between Los Angeles and
Boston showed us that But he (In ­
man) failed to mention the im por­
tance of a bench, which l.A also
showed us to vividly.

TH O M AS HEARNS
Boxing Thomas Hearns vs
Roberto Duran
Hearns has been under the
tutelage o f Emanuel Stewart for
some IS years and has always
followed Stewart's instruction But
against Duran, Hearns has said that
he will not listen to his manager.
The problem is that Stewart would
like to see Tommy box Duran for 15
rounds and get a decision. Hearns,

to knock Roberto out, and says that
is what he will do. Hearns (38-1. 32
knockouts) has fought only twice in
18 months, winning both by
decision.
Hearns, the 2'zi-l favorite, says
he will finish Duran, who has never
been knocked out in HI fights, by
the tenth round Hearns believes
beating Duran will move him to the
top now that Sugar Ray is gone
