MOVIES . . . SPACE JAM: It's finally here, the long-hyped Michael Jordan/Bugs Bunny collaboration. In plot, 'Space Jam' is akin to the new Star Trek picture: evil aliens (here the Nerdlucks) try to steal the souls (the talent) of the galaxy?s most complex life forms (NBA stars Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Muggsey Bogues, Larry Johnson and token white geek Shawn Bradley). If Jordan doesn?t renounce his infatuation with baseball and agree to play a basketball game against the aliens' Monstar team, civilization will be imperiled. Not to mention some very fat Nike contracts. There are the requisite inside...
...bronzed rival in the 400 m, Falilat Ogunkoya, teared up as she thought of the mother she had just lost and Perec warmly hugged her (while a volunteer fetched a Kleenex). Japanese said "Muchas gracias" to Cuban baseball players, and the Cubans responded, with typical charm, "Domo arigato." Charles Barkley gave his practice jersey to the 14-year-old daughter of Alice Hawthorne, the woman killed in Atlanta's bombing...
...lowering of flags to half-staff at all venues. The bombing was the main topic of conversation among athletes and fans as the games resumed this morning. "I feel bad for the people who were killed, and I feel bad for the people who were injured," said Charles Barkley, who is staying with other Dream Team players at a hotel about a block from the blast. "It's something we thought about coming into the Olympics, but it's not something we thought would happen. I just feel bad for all the families involved." Barkley fully supported the plan...
...Olympic basketball team, which trademarked the name, is going to win in Atlanta, barring a natural disaster or an alien invasion. We know that Shaquille O'Neal is going to be slamming on Angola, that Gary Payton will be stripping Croatia of the ball and that Charles Barkley will jab Lithuania with his elbows. Americans may love every moment of it, but they'll know the outcome of every game. There will be no dream there, only the hard realism of superiority. The players on the women's squad, though, are still dreaming. "We're going to have to work...
...entire team in one afternoon, committing to $151 million in contracts. The Knicks signed guards Alan Houston and Chris Childs for a combined $80 and then traded for Charlotte's Larry Johnson and his $71 million deal. This weekend's madness may have been best summed up by Charles Barkley, he of the $4.6 million a year contract. Upset with millions being thrown at young, unproven players, the 33-year-old Olympian said, "I'm firing my mother. She's off the Barkley payroll. She had me too soon." -- Josh Dubow
