from the rest of the league.  I think we are seeing the very beginnings

I think you're right Jim, and that's what I meant when I mentioned JoJo's 
name originally.  Everyone made individual sacrifices for the sake of the 
team during that era.  If Pitino gets these players to buy into the 
theory that it's still a team game and nothing replaces the 
combination of hard work & talent, we're on the way back to 
respectability.

There haven't been many responses about JoJo's treatment, with the 
exception of Tom, so I guess you agree that he was treated unfairly.  
After he left Boston, he went to Seattle, I believe.  But he told me that 
the team who wanted him most of all, was the Lakers, but Red wouldn't 
allow it, no matter what stage of his career he was at.
