MILWAUKEE Fans wait at courtside three
deep for a peek at the man whose high tops walk on
air, whose graceful swoops toward the basket are
already legend , . . even though he's only 24.
"I'm sometimes surprised at myself," Michael
Jordan said Monday night after his second
straight and seventh 50-point performance this
season. "To get where you're going, sometimes
you have to surprise yourself."
If he maintains his present clip, Jordan is
headed to Springfield, Mass., and the NBA Hall of
Fame. But for the time being, he'd just like to
make the Chicago Bulls the best basketball team
he can.
His 37-point average includes 36 games of 40 or
More points and already has the Bulls in the
playoffs.
But there's more.
The 6-foot-6 Jordan, in only his third season, is
the only NBA player to ever have more than 200

steals and 100 blocks in a single season. He needs
only 37 points in his final two regular-season
games to score 3,000 points this year, a plateau
reached by only one other player Wilt Chamber
lain, who did it three times. Don't bet against it.
"I read about that in the newspaper. If I get it, I
get it. Individual accolades are fine," Jordan said,
adding that it's the team that is his main concern.
"I just want to make this franchise better every
year I'm here," Jordan says. "I'd probably like to
play eight more years."
That news could make some coaches, with the
exception of the Bulls' Doug Collins, look for other
fields of employment.
"I don't think there's another player in this
league . ." Collins says, drawing his words. "If
you took Michael Jordan off this team and re
placed him with any other player in the league,
there's no way we'd have 40 wins. That's what he
gives this team.
"The thing I'm most proud of is the way the guys
in this room work to help him get open to do the
things he can do to help make his job easier."

Jordan has consciously made the word "team" a
part of his post-game interview ritual.
When he riddled the Milwaukee Bucks for 50
points Monday night, Jordan cited the Bulls' team
defense, the ability of point guard Sedale Threatt
to penetrate and the rebounding of teammate
Charles Oakley as keys to the victory.
"My 50 points were not as big a factor as us
getting the respect we deserve," said Jordan.
"Night in and night out Michael draws all the
attention, and we try to get other guys to the open
spots to take advantage of that," said Collins. The
Bulls are not a one-man team the rugged 6-9
Oakley averages 13 rebounds and 14 points.
But for Chicago to win in the playoffs, especially
on the road, it needs the 40 and 50-point perfor
mances from Jordan. And that doesn't ensure
victory.
Last year Jordan missed most of the season with
a foot injury but came back for the playoffs and
scored a career-high 63 points in a loss to the
Boston Celtics. This season he had a 61-point effort
against Detroit.

Jackie Robinson overcame baseball's trials, racism
By JOHN NELSON
AP Sports Writer
NEW YORK In the spring of
1947, the Brooklyn Dodgers traveled
to Chicago'overnight by train to play
the Cubs in their first meeting of the
season.
It was to be a special game, one in a
series of firsts. Jackie Robinson, a
college-educated black man, was in a
Dodgers uniform, playing baseball
and changing the face of America.
Robinson already had become the,
first black man to play in the major
leagues in the modern era, starting at
first base for the Dodgers at Ebbets
Field on April 15, 1947 40 years ago
today.
When • the doors were closed at
Wrigley Field, there were more than
47,000 in a ballpark meant to hold
about 38,000.
"The place was packed," Cubs
outfielder Phil Cavarretta recalled,
"and in those days, you know I
don't mean to be degrading but
black people very seldom came out to
our games. This particular day, when
Jackie was there with the Dodgers,
the place was packed, and over half
of them were black people."
This was a special day for black
Americans in Chicago, just as there
had been special days for blacks
throughout the country during Robin
son's first tour of the National League
in 1947. Only later would all of Ameri
ca fully realize how special these
days were.
Jack Roosevelt Robinson, the
gra e ndson of slaves, was born in Cai
ro, Ga., on Jan. 31, 1919, the fifth and
last child of Mallie and Jerry Robin
son, a plantation worker. Jerry Rob
inson left home for good when Jackie
was 6 months old, and Mallie took the
family west to Pasadena, Calif., the
next year.
They moved into an all-white sec-

trigued Dodgers' General Manager
Branch. Rickey.
Already a pioneer in the areas of
minor leagues and talent scouting,
Rickey was ready to blaze another
trail. He wanted to get a black man
into baseball, and as World War II
began to work its changes on the
world, he felt the time was right. He

also felt that Robinson's history, his
ability to operate in an all-white
world, would serve him well as he
broke baseball's color barrier. .
Under the guise of putting together
an all-black team he would call the
Brooklyn Brown Dodgers, Rickey
had signed the major league's first
black ballplayer. He met with Robin
son in his Manhattan offices for three
hours, calling him every name that
his strict Methodist upbringing would
allow. It was a test, and Robinson
passed.
"All of us who played with or
against him are so respectful of
him," said Hall of Famer Monte
Irvin, who broke into the majors in
.1949 with the Dodgers' crosstown
rival New York Giants. "We knew
what he had to go through. A lot of us
experienced the same things."
While Robinson was the trailblazer,
the experiences of other early black
ballplayers closely paralleled those
of Robinson.
"You knew you had to go play
someplace," former catcher Roy
Campanella said. "You'd be there on
time, play, shower up and then go
find a black hotel. You couldn't stay
with the team. You did what you had
to do. It's always difficult to know
you're shunned and couldn't stay with
your teammates."
Campanella vividly remembers the
first time he was forced to tay away
from his teammates. It was in his
hometown of Philadelphia.
"We weren't allowed to stay in the
Bellevue Stratford Hotel," he said.
"We couldn't stay with the team in
three towns: Philadelphia, St. Louis
and Cincinnati."

as so many teams did, the Dodgers
