While the Los Angeles Lakers are
making their statement to Western
Conference foes, the Detroit Pistons, the
defending World Champs are still the
team to beat in the east.
Behind the Pistons success as of late
is Dennis Rodman, the dunking/rebound-
ing/fmger-pointing guy known by his
nickname, “ The Worm.” No, does not
squirm under pressure when taking on
N.B.A. foes, he wiggles like a worm
when he plays the pinball machine. True
story.
The Pistons are playing some of the
best basketball in the league since their
January 21 loss to the Lakers. In that
game, Piston forward Mark Aguire col
lided with James Worthy. Since the
Dennis Rodman has been the starting
forward and he will probably be there
until the season is over. Until their
recent skid, the Pistons had won 24 of 25
games with “ The W orm” in the lineup.
The Piston have a four game lead over
the Chicago Bulls and “ A ir” Jordan.
In Denver, " F a t” Leuer is cur
rently leading the Nuggets in scor
ing, rebounding, and assists. Should
he maintain that pace, he will join
Larry Bird, John Havlicek, Michael
Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain, Elgin
Baylor, Dolph Schayes, and Maurice
Stokes as the only players to accom
plish that feat.

Dennis Rodman
“ A sa starter I think I add some extra
intensity,” said Rodman about running
with the first squad, * ‘and work as far as
playing man to man defense, and some
extra rebounds.” Rodman is currently
leading the Pistons in rebounding and he
ranks among the league leaders in offen
sive rebounds.
“ I’m not a powerf ul guy or real physi
cal,” said the NBA All-Star. “ It’s just
determination. I like getting beat up
inside so I can cam some respect from
my teammates and opponents. I’ve got
a will to survive, and I’m willing to sac
rifice myself to help us win another
cham pionship.. . ”
It’s tough enough for a seven-footer
in the NBA under the basket, even tougher
when he goes shopping. Kevin Willis,
center for the Atlanta Hawks, along with
his college friend and Michigan Slate
teammate, have opened up “ Willis &
W alker” in Atlanta. They specialize in
leather and suede goods, as well as cus
tom-made suits and goods. They also
make average-sized clothes.
Some of their customers: Moses
Malone, Dominique Wilkins, Karl
Malone, Kevin Duckworth, Joe Barry
Carroll, Ken Norman, Reggie Theus,
Magic Johnson, Ron Harper, and Char
les Oakley. Word gets around quick.
Many of their wives and girlfriends are
now asking for custom outfits . . .
"Fat" Lever
When the Philadelpha 76ers traveled
to Hartford, Conneticut to play the Bos
ton Celtics, Rick Mahom got only the
second chance to play in front of his
hometown fans and family. While there,
Mahom showed Charles Barkley the town,
including a restaurant with some inter
esting names on the menu.
“ Rick is very big in this town,” said
Barkley. This hamburger place had a
Rick Mahorn buger, a Michael Adams
burger, and a Marlon Starling burger. I
haven’t got anything like that at home in
Alabama.”
Replied Rick Mahorn, “ that’s be
cause they can’t make a burger big enough
