Deerfield Beach, Florida www.hcibooks.com 144 HOW TO BE LIKE MIKE And one of the men replied:“Oh! Michael Jordan!’’ In 1991, the Bulls were in Los Angeles to play the Lakers in the Finals. On the bus, the players were teasing each other about who knew the most famous people. The debate raged on and Michael remained quiet. Someone yelled,“How about you, Michael? Who do you know who’s famous?” MJ said, “Who do you want me to call?” Someone said, “How about Janet Jackson?” MJ placed a call and said,“Hi, Janet. This is Mike. Give me a call.” Someone said, “Aw, you’re just faking it.”Thirty seconds later, the phone rang. It was Janet Jackson. John Salley said,“That’s when we knew there was us, and there was Michael Jordan!” Tony Kornheiser, Washington sports writer, said, “I have a photo in my den that is very special. It was taken in a box on the night Jordan joined the Wizards. On the left is Ted Leonsis, then MJ,Abe Pollin and Bill Clinton. Let me tell you, Michael is clearly the focal point of the picture.You can tell that he is the sheriff.” Top-Selling Issues of the Chicago Tribune since 1986: 1. Bulls Win 6th NBA Title 5.

  • Adonal Foyle Is Coming to the Lafayette Library
    LAMORINDA WEEKLY | Adonal Foyle is Coming to the Lafayette Library Published June 19th, 2013 Adonal Foyle is Coming to the Lafayette Library By Cathy Tyson Former basketball player and author Adonal Foyle is coming to the Lafayette Library to the first-ever authors and athletes special event from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Friday, June 21. Locals may know him as a Warrior, but he is so much more - poet, philanthropist and motivational speaker. He'll be discussing his amazing journey as an NBA player, his life experiences and insight, as well as his new children's book, "Too Tall Foyle Finds His Game." Foyle was selected as the eighth pick in the 1997 NBA draft by the Golden State Warriors and ultimately stayed with the team for 10 years. With the Warriors, he made a name for himself as a fan favorite. Following his decade on the "W's" he played briefly for the Orlando Magic and then the Memphis Grizzlies until he was sidelined by a knee injury and retired. Born in St. Vincent and the Grenadines in the Caribbean, Foyle was adopted at age 15 by Joan and Jay Mandle, professors at Colgate University, and graduated from Colgate magna cum laude with a history degree. In 2009 Foyle was inducted into the World Sports Humanitarian Hall of Fame due to his founding of the Kerosene Lamp Foundation that serves children, and Democracy Matters - a non-partisan student organization created to counteract political apathy on college campuses and examine campaign finance reform. He recently attended a Moraga Country Club fundraising golf event for his foundation, which supports a variety of activities using basketball as a catalyst to encourage education and health awareness among impoverished youth.

  • Versatile Fox Sports Broadcaster Kenny Albert Continues to Pair with Biggest Names in Sports
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Erik Arneson, FOX Sports Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2016 [email protected] VERSATILE FOX SPORTS BROADCASTER KENNY ALBERT CONTINUES TO PAIR WITH BIGGEST NAMES IN SPORTS Boothmates like Namath, Ewing, Palmer, Leonard ‘Enhance Broadcasts … Make My Job a Lot More Fun’ Teams with Former Cowboy and Longtime Broadcast Partner Daryl ‘Moose’ Johnston and Sideline Reporter Laura Okmin for FOX NFL in 2016 With an ever-growing roster of nearly 250 teammates (complete list below) that includes iconic names like Joe Namath, Patrick Ewing, Jim Palmer, Jeremy Roenick and “Sugar Ray” Leonard, versatile FOX Sports play-by-play announcer Kenny Albert -- the only announcer currently doing play-by-play for all four major U.S. sports (NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL) -- certainly knows the importance of preparation and chemistry. “The most important aspects of my job are definitely research and preparation,” said Albert, a second-generation broadcaster whose long-running career behind the sports microphone started in high school, and as an undergraduate at New York University in the late 1980s, he called NYU basketball games. “When the NFL season begins, it's similar to what coaches go through. If I'm not sleeping, eating or spending time with my family, I'm preparing for that Sunday's game. “And when I first work with a particular analyst, researching their career is definitely a big part of it,” Albert added. “With (Daryl Johnston) ‘Moose,’ for example, there are various anecdotes from his years with the Dallas Cowboys that pertain to our games. When I work local Knicks telecasts with Walt ‘Clyde’ Frazier on MSG, a percentage of our viewers were avid fans of Clyde during the Knicks’ championship runs in 1970 and 1973, so we weave some of those stories into the broadcasts.” As the 2016 NFL season gets underway, Albert once again teams with longtime broadcast partner Johnston, with whom he has paired for 10 seasons, sideline reporter Laura Okmin and producer Barry Landis.
