THEY DON'T WANT TO LOSE A DRILL, DON'T WANT TO LOSE A SHOOTING GAME, DON'T WANT TO LOSE ANYTHING: The oral history of the 1992 Dream Team which Bill Simmons wishes he had written. From Branford Marsalis (of all people):
I saw a lot of the guys around the hotel. I saw Jordan sitting watching Angola on tape, just staring, looking for weaknesses. I said, "I don't even want to bother you, but why are you watching this game?" And he said, "I always take my opponent seriously. I never underestimate anyone." It wasn't lost on me that he was the only guy watching the game.
