QUOTES OF THE WEEK

Jordan an Alien

"The guy comes from another planet, let's face it. I don't know where it is--Mars, Jupiter, Antron maybe. That's the planet that's the furthest out in the whole galaxy. Maybe that's where Michael comes from."--John Bach, current Charlotte assistant coach and former Chicago assistant, after Michael Jordan scored 48 points in the Bulls' 108-100 victory in the first game of their best-of-5 series.

Doh!

"I forgot my batting helmet. I got out of the dugout and somebody yelled, 'Hey, where's your helmet?' I had to go back and get it."

--Nervous Royals rookie Jon Nunnally, who then went to the plate and became the 70th player to hit a home run in his first major league atbat.
