...PUBLIC, rabid Bulls fan Some NBA fans don't want Jordan any closer to center court than the MCI Center owner's box, fearing that he may tarnish his legacy as perhaps the greatest athlete of the 20th century. After all, how could he top his previous exit, a steal and subsequent game-winning jump shot in the final minute of Chicago's title-clinching victory in Game 6 of the 1998 NBA Finals?

It is no surprise that Christos’ girlfriend, Areti, leaves him for the new comer, especially after he manically leaps from the church rafters to profess his love to her right there in the chapel. If Tsarouchas wanted his audience to understand something of Christos’ fervent love...
...While living in Compton, Calif., with little money, he said he was flipping channels and saw Romanian player Virginia Ruzici win a $35,000 check. He then hid his wife's birth-control pills in order to create a tennis player. He says he even got a friend to steal her purse so she wouldn't have her pills. In a new book, Venus Envy, Richard tells author L. Jon Wertheim that he owns the air rights over India, has a seat on the "Shanghai Stock Exchange," will make some $100 million from a website called homegirls.com and has been...
