elite group
(AP) — On the playgrounds of
Houston, a young Clyde Drexler
used to pretend he was Julius
Erving, flying over defenders with
a championship on the line. On
Friday night, D rexler's idol, “Dr. J,”
presented him for induction into
the Basketball Hall o f Fame.
“1'mdream ing tonight,” Drexler
said. “My childhood idol is pre
senting me for induction into the
Hall o f Fame. It doesn’t get any
better than this. I am dreaming. I
don’t want to be awakened.”

name “Clyde the Glide" for his own

Shaq Raps to Even Scores Old Timers Get Due Credit
(AP) — The way NBA star Shaquille
O ’Neal sees it, h e’s still the big cat, Kobe
Bryant’s not where it’s at, and he’s got the
rap to back up the fact. And the Miami
Heat center isn’t crazy about the Detroit
Pistons’ Ben W allace or rapper Skillz ei
ther.
O ’ Neal has dabbled in hip-hop over the
years. His latest effort is a collaboration
with DJ Vlad on the CD “Hot in Here Part
Five.”
Shaquille O'Neal
On “You Not The Fightin’ Type,”
O ’Neal sets out to even scores with sev
eral people: Bryant, who he believes got him traded from the Los
Angeles Lakers; Wallace, whose Pistons defeated the Lakers for
this year's NB A championship; and Skillz, whose rap “The Champs
is Here” celebrated the Detroit victory.
“ I heard your little interview and what Ben W allace said. I ain’t
got no response for spider-web head,” O ’Neal raps.
(AP) — T w o of the N FL’s oldest old-
timers will be on the final ballot for the Pro
Football Hall o f Fame next year.
Benny Friedman and Fritz Pol lard, who
played in the 1920s and 1930s, were cho
sen by a panel o f Hall o f Fame voters as the
senior candidates to join 13 modem-era
finalists for selection to the H all’s
lard c ' a s s ° f 2005.
Pollard is best known for being
the league's first black head coach;
he was made co-coach while play
ing for the Akron Pros in 1921.
There w asn’t another black coach
in the league until Art Shell took over the
Raiders in 1989.
At 5-foot-9, 165 pounds, Pollard led
Brown University to die Rose Bowl in 1915
and turned pro in 1919, with the Akron team.
