That's why the Houston Rockets' pivotman, Hakeem Olajuwon, got a $55 million, five-year contract extension and another African-born center, Dikembe Mutombo, signed with the Atlanta Hawks for a five-year, $50 million deal. The Miami Heat is on the verge of re-signing playoff flop Alonzo Mourning for $115 million over seven years rather than lose...
...tonight's finals. Evans, who finished ninth was visibly disappointed after the race. "I've learned that life's not fair and today proves that point," she said, tears welling in her eyes.
