>> i was just -- wow, michael jordan was just my inspiration. an, the things he was able to do out on the basketball court, i loved. everybody wanted to fly like jordan and pull up and hit a game winner at the sound of the horn like jordan. you wanted to do commercials. you wanted to have his shoes. everything he did, i wanted to do. >> larry: when did you first meet him? >> i met michael jordan my first time, i was in the 10th grade. and i went to chicago. they play at a gym called hoops. that was the first time i met him. it was like he was walking on water when he came towards me. >> larry: did he know who you were? >> he did, he did. and that was more gratifying and it was just very humbling. that he knew who i was. >> larry: he owns a team now. >> right. >> larry: you ever think about the possibility of playing for him? >> i never thought about it. i do think it's great that he owns a team. you see a former player in our league, and you see mike and the things that he was able to do on the court, to see him still being successful off the cou

michael jordan couldn't win the championship on his own.t's all about having a team concept that works. he hasn't quite gotten that yet. he needs to find that situation. i'll be honest with you, and my folks in chicago may be mad at me for saying this, but i think it would be a wonderful story if lebron says, i'm going to stay here in cleveland. he's from ohio. that's a town that has had some tough time for him to say, i am going to make a commitment to the city would be a wonderful thing. s. but he's got to make sure that he's got a team around him and a coach that he respects, he's bought into the team concept. he's willing to be coached. and if he does that, he'll have an even more remarkable career than he's had. >> larry: dru joyce, his high school coach, where would you look him to go? >> well, you know -- i respect everything, you know, your esteemed panel has suggested. but there's a couple things, you know, one you don't win 60 games in the nba and have a bad team. i think they -- they won 60 games. and there were some things that

. >> coach, if there is a handbook to be written, one can argue michael jordan probably wrote the bestne. but since this handshake incident, lebron james has really taken that responsibility for image, the responsibility to community. talk to me about what you have he seen in him and what you've seen in athletes across the board. >> well, what i see in lebron is someone who's mature enough to understand some what have stephen's said, that he need to discipline himself. that's something we've always talked about going way back into high school, that there's a certain amount of discipline that you have to have with respect to the position you've been given. he's on a bigger platform so his responsibility is greater. but all of us are role models at some level. it's not just him. it's all of us. >> are we missing a point here when we look at and question the whole idea of responsibility in that these people attain it very, very early on. as i say, maybe the maturity has not caught up with the bank account. do we take that into account enough? >> i mean these athletes, they have so many pe

understand -- this is the first time that i can recall outside of chicago, and remembering when michael jordan was drafted, and we had hard times for awhile there. we could not get past detroit. and then, finally, we acquired a player, and the other players who were going to be instrumental in that team having success. i think there is a traditionalist in me that loves to see the play year, the magic johnson, who is in l.a., the larry bird in boston, so when it changes a little, and, hey, that is the landscape of basketball. everything that was just done was done haute and collectively bargained for. i think what was a little different -- was done was collectively bargained for. i think what was of a different was a television show to announce the decision. but i really felt like it was the "idol" final. i tell you what, it has changed, and i think that is what sells. the ratings or off of the charts, i understand, we too were off of the charts. now, back to the traditional " side of me -- their ratings were off of the charts, i understand. now, back to the traditionalists side of me. let's ma

curry of the warriors, a point better than michael jordan in 31st place. news game for the earthquakes. that's not the fat guy in a little coat made famous. joe staley and john smith showed up. this is like 49er game when they couldn't score. quakes best opportunity came in the 89th minute. game ends in a scoreless draw. >> stage 13 of the tour at the france, same thing, statement leader, andy schleck. >> alan: when we come back, it's all about the u. why unicyclists took over parts >> alan: coming up in a half hour at 6:00, more than a month after the june primary, there's finally a republican nominee in the race for insurance commissioner. and the level of violence goes up along the border with mexico as the drug gangs use an unprecedented way to attack their victims. join us at 6:00. before we go this evening, everyone heard of the tour de france, but a lesser known gathering of cyclists is going on right near san francisco this weekend. the u-games bring together unicyclists of all different ages and skill levels. we saw some of them riding by. they re

on michael jordan, it just goes on and on, until you get to john updike on ted williams final red soxppearance. >> written on the weekend. >> rose: he said that, is that right? >> roger knows that story rogewas editor for yes and years. he went to that game by accident. as you said in the forward to a later edition he had an assignation with a lady who didn't turn up, and he went to -- the red sox were a terrible team then and he went to fenway park, bought a ticket and wawld walked in and noticed ted williams last game to be played at fenway park and he hits the last home run of his career and john went home and wrote the piece, but wrote a whole new style, writing about basall. >> rose: what was the new style? >> wrote about himself and to write about the, not to write in a sporting way but to write about what he thought about ted williams, to start with, and just to be himself as a great writer. and i think roger said, you know, one piece. roger made it his lifework or a huge part of his lifework to be a writer about baseball and a lot of it is the point of view, and the point of v

dear michael jordan, dear sylvester stallone. guess what happened? nothing. then at christmas time i got one check for $100 from tom brokaw and then i saw my climbing ger and i sold it and i sold my car for $500 that i got from my grandfather in a seedy area in oakland. by string i o spring i had only $2,400. my mother invited me to come and talk to the kids. when i got ready to leave, a fourth grader named jeffery looked me in the aye and he said i've got a piggy bank at home and i'm going to help you build that school. west side school raised 65, 300 pennies. it wasn't the celebrities or the sports heroes or movie stars or if i lan throw pears but children reaching out to children half way around the world to help them build a school. what can you buy with a penny the bay area? probably nothing. in montana you can buy 1/2 tootsie roll. but in afghanistan you can buy a pencil. it's not that's so important but education gives a child hope. you know, if you fight tear riz her rorism it's based in fear but the real enemy is ignorance that bleeds hatred. here in
