Who Deserves to be NBA All-Star Starters?
Frank Nieto
Staff Writer
It's All-Star time in the N.8.A., a time
when the best of the best are supposed to play
each other. Supposed to. Most of the time it's
just a contest featuring the most popular play
ers in the league. As it stands now Charles
Barkley, Dan Majerle, I,atrell Spreewell,
Grant Hill will start, but they shouldn't. This
is what the line-ups should look like:
Power Forward - Tyronne Hill (Cleve
land) - Hill doesn't know the meaning of the
word pretty, but he gets the job done (16 p.p.g.
and 11 r.p.g.).
Small Forward - Scottie Pippen (Chi
cago) - The most complete player in the world,

Bast'? Definitely. (Sorry, Patrick).
Point Guard - Dana Banos (Philadelphia)
- Almost an afterthought in the Mersey
Hawkins-Kendall Gill trade a few years ago,
Barros has turned out to he the best player
involved. l3arros has gone from being a three
point specialist to one of the top five guards in
the league.
Shooting Guard - Joe Dumars (Detroit) -
The comeback player of the year, regardless of
Clyde Drexler. Dumars has benefited from
rule changes, but he looks like his old Finals

MARITHE & FRANCOIS GIRBAUD FOR JUNIORS, MEN AND BOYS
1995 COLLECTION
Marithe' and Francois Girbaud, designers of the jeanswear
collection that bears their name, have nver followed fashion
trends. Rather, it is their consistent innovative use of new
shapes, fabrics and treatments that creates a gentle progression
of thoughts and ideas from one season to the next. Spring and
Summer 1995 coalesce under the celebration of diversity, the
rejection of outmoded fashion dictates and the renaissance of
handcrafted workmanship.
From the carpenters of America to the workers in China,
Marithe' and Francois Girbaud have created a collection that
is as vaned and individual as the people who wear it.
The color story for Spring takes a new path. Rich
vegetable rones, such as orage (a stormy grey), poudre (a rose
grey), olive and turquoise arc scaled against their blanched
counterparts: prune runs to rose, olive becomes celery, and so
on. Planet Violette, Marithe' and Francois Girbaud's unique
sulfur-treated denim collection, possesses a distinct artistic
sensibility. Original pieces were sulfur treated to impart a
celestial blue-violet tone. This season, the group now incldes
a wide range of jues from blush to slate. Fabric mixing,
dropped needle fabric treatment and decorative topstitching
lend detail, creating a folkloric feel.
New and innovative fabrics are the cornerstone of Marithe'
and Francois Girbaud. From drapey Tencel pieces that feel
softer than your oldest pair of jeans, to the retro look of
honeycomb knots and terry cloth, the collection melds playful

Power Forward - Shawn Kemp (Seattle) -
Kemp might be the most underrated player in
the league. Most people think that Kemp is a
smaller Shag, but Kemp makes his free throws
and has a deadly jumper from 15 feet in.
Small Forward - Cedric Ceballos (Los
Angeles Lakers) - Ceballos was the steal of the
year for the Lakers. They gave up a draft pick
and got a guy that averaged 19 p.p.g. last year
off of a very deep Phoenix bench. Ceballos
has become what the Suns thought Richard
Dumas was - Dr. J with a jumper.
Center - David Robinson (San Antonio) -
Hakeem may have a ring, Shaq may have a

est streak in the league, but The Admiral has
the distinction of being the best by a very wide
margin
Point Guard - John Stockton (Utah) - He
may look like a chump, but he is one of the
three greatest ball handlers in league history
(behind Magic Johnson and Bob Cousy).
Point Guard - Gary Payton (Seattle) -
Payton is so good he lets everyone know it,
then backs it up. He's so good he knocks the
shooting guard spot out of the West's starting
line-up.

and innovative fabrics with forward silhouettes
For juniors, shapes are both relaxed and body conscious. Tops,
especially sleeveless shirts, baby tees and close-fitting vests are basic
looks for Spring. Often cropped, these shrunken shirts are paired wither
with stovepipe-shaped pants or a tiny pair of short shorts. The overall, a
denim mainstay, takes on a more feminine feel as an overall mini jumper,
shortall or tiny, skin baring vest.
For men, a shape that looks to the past while mergingthe beat of today
is the key. A button-down, convertible-collared shirt in retro terry cloth
or a honeycomb weave cotton is cool and comfortable when paired with
flat front khakis or Brand X Shorts. Vests are another top look, zip or
button-up front. In summer-light linen, the look is natural and casual
when paired with antique jeans. A mandarin-collared sulfur washed
denim vest worn over a tee
shirt is a new Iternative to the
basic denim jacket.
Boys will be boys with
Girbaud's playful shapes and
prints. The mood is stripey,
big and colorful - surf culture
circa early 1960'5. Oversized
striped terry cloth tee-shirts
and Hawaiian-inspired prints
and logos are paired with
colorful, baggy denim shorts
for fun on or off the beach.

Venneil was a loser when he first coached the
Eagles, why bring him back? Now maybe the
Eagles will hire Tony Dungy away from the
Vikings. Dungy would bring intimidation
back to the Eagles, something they lost when
they fired Buddy Ryan.
The Minnesota Timberwolves and L.A.
Clippers must he counting the days until they
can get their shots at UMass' Loc Roe. Roe
would be perfect for either of these teams, he
won't take losing and might get rid of some
whiners (Christian Laettner) and underachiev
ers (Pooh Richardson) physically.
If I had the number pick in the N.F.L.
draft, I wouldn't even consider any other player
to take except for Steve "Air" McNair.
