...look stepping into the conflagrations of men twice their size. JEFF VAN GUNDY'S dream is still unrealized. In 1998 the 5-ft. 9-in. Knick coach rode out a New York-Miami playoff brawl attached like a poodle to the leg of 6-ft. 10-in. man-mountain Alonzo Mourning. It wasn't his finest moment, but he escaped unharmed. This time, he wasn't so lucky. On Martin Luther King Day, Van Gundy tried to make peace between warring Knick MARCUS CAMBY and elbowing Spur DANNY FERRY. Camby, 6 ft. 11 in., swung at and missed Ferry...
...claimed its second consecutive gold medal, but the Aussie crowd didn't let that ruin their "Ozzie, Ozzie, Ozzie, Oi, Oi, Oi" good cheer.

"This team is doing what Olympic athletes do," says team spokesman and co-captain Craig Miller. "They're going to visit...
...that's good, because, unlike the NBA or NFL All-Star games (quick, name anyone other than Alonzo Mourning who played defense in the NBA game), baseball's is actually played for pride and taken somewhat seriously - remember Pedro's strikeouts last year? Dave Parker's throw in '79? Pete Rose's cheap shot on Ray Fosse? And that's especially true of the new guys, just happy to be there and working hard to win one for the league...
