...divvy up pages of a Western girlie mag that he smuggles into town on his first trip home. By the time he's ready to graduate, Chen is on hand as a translator to witness the NBA's first visit to China, and is sent to track down Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who has gone missing in Tiananmen Square...
...most interesting challenge for the current Lakers would have been Magic Johnson, James Worthy, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s Showtime version from 1987. With Michael Cooper being a premier defensive stopper to use in neutralizing Kobe, and Byron Scott rounding off the best offense in NBA history with his assassin-like three pointers, a 6’9 Magic Johnson would have a field day running circles around the 6’1 Derek Fisher.

New social skills are suddenly required; the conversation in my junior high school has shifted from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the center for the Lakers, to Teresa, this totally hot girl in Algebra I. A few of the guys evolve flawlessly. One week they're collecting baseball cards, and the next they're driving Mustangs and dating Teresas. The rest of us retreat into a sort of refined hyper-geekdom. As kids we may have played with toy soldiers or plastic tanks...
