Is a Change of Address Sean Elliott is Waiting
for a Kidney Donor
in Anthony’s Future?
The guard say» he would rather
stay and win In Portland than go
elsewhere for more playing time
B y S t iv i B hanpov
long BEACH, Calif. — Trail
Blazers fans who d o n ’t expect
guard Greg Anthony to be with the
team next season, or beyond, will
be seriously m istaken if A nthony
has his way.
“I’m happier in Portland than 1
ever thought I would be,” Anthony
said Sunday at the Long Beach Pyra
mid, where he showed up a few days
ago for a stint with the Blazers sum
mer-league team. “1 didn’t under
stand how much 1 would enjoy the
city, the people, and the fans. I don t
plan on not being a Trail Blazer. I
want to play six more years, and 1 feel
very confident about finishing my
career in Portland.”
Forget any thoughts that A n
thony has had it w ith D am on
Stoudam ire, w ho expressed his
frustrations last season when A n
thony wound up playing m ore than
him in the fourth quarter.
Forget the notion that Anthony,
31, will leave when his tw o-year,
$2.1 m illion contract expires on
July 1 simply because league rules
might allow him to make more
m oney w ith another team.

There was no Tiger. N ot a G olden
Bear or a Shark in sight.
Instead, it was J.L. Lew is and
Mike Brisky putting on a terrific
display o f one-on-one g o lf at the
John Deere Classic.
Five holes into a p la y o ff at the
Oakwood C ountry Club on Sun
day, Brisky m issed a birdie putt
and w atched as Lew is m ade his.
And ju st like that, Lewis had his
first PGA Tour victory and a check
for $360,000 that more than tripled
his tour earnings this year.
“It’s been a long haul,” Lewis
said. “I ’ve im proved a lot and I
feel like the ability level is there. I
ju st kept m yself going. I kept be
lieving I was a good player.”
Brisky, whose previous best fin
ish was second at the 1995 Buick
O pen, didn’t sound like a loser.
