...sound and her image (she co-wrote several of the songs on Fear of Flying). "This album was an opportunity and a test," she says. Mya was assisted by a stellar group of producers, including Swizz Beatz, Wyclef Jean (of the Fugees) and Rodney Jerkins (who worked on Toni Braxton's sultry new CD, The Heat). On her previous album Mya was a lovestruck teen; on her new album she's a woman coming face to face with romantic entanglements. But, let's face it, the lyrics aren't really what matter here.

...earlier this season, Jackson handed out some reading. He gave several of the players books by mystery novelist Walter Mosley. He gave Harper Toni Morrison's Jazz. And he gave O'Neal a copy of Nietzsche's Ecce Homo (How One Becomes What One Is).

At one point Ledecky got in Jordan's face: "Michael, I want to know--can you focus on the Wizards, or are we going to be another entry on your long list of corporate deals?" Jordan's eyes narrowed the way they would when Toni Kukoc didn't dish off. "Jon," said Jordan, "when I decide to compete, there is only one way I do it. To win." After a few cigars and a $40 million payment by Jordan, he was president of one of the worst, most overpaid teams in the league. The Wizards...
