In its torturous qualifying round, Brazil lacked magic, and the local media have been merciless. Brazilian coach "Big Phil" Scolari was mobbed after neglecting to name onetime hero Romario to the squad.

And the audience, watching her take over the stage with unapologetic force, can only hang on tight and think, “This is going to be one hell of a ride...
...weighs about 60 pounds less, but that would be the only bright spot for the current Lakers. Worthy could double-team O’Neal often, without having to worry about his defensive assignment, Samaki Walker, being an offensive threat. Pat Riley could finally best his arch-nemesis Phil Jackson, as Magic & Co. would end up beating the present Lake Show in six games...
