Blackman
confident of
shooting skill
DALLAS (AP) — Rolando Black
man has the kind of confidence in
himself as a shooter that Jack Nick-
laus does in himself as a putter when
he needs a five-footer it
championship.
“I shoot jumpers,” Blackman will
often shout at nobody in particular
after he makes a critical shot during
a Dallas Mavericks’ basketball game.
Blackman hit two free throws in
Sunday’s 37th annual NBA All-Star
game after regulation time had ex
pired to send the game into over
time. Blackman’s West team even
tually won 154-149, and the Dallas
guard came off the bench to score 29
points for his team.
Blackman’s role with the Maver
icks is an off-guard. He’s one of the
best drivers and jump shooters in
the NBA.
“It was just a great thrill to suc
ceed in that spot,” Blackman said.
“With the Mavericks, I’m usually
successful in that situation.”

Blackman finished second in the
Most Valuable Player balloting be
hind Seattle’s Tom Chambers, who
scored a game-high 34 points.
“Tom deserved it, although I
would have liked to have the tro
phy,” Blackman said.
Players from the East squad yelled
everything they could at Blackman,
in an unsuccessful attempt to get
him to mis the basket, including
“choke”, “sissy” and “punk.”
“It’s not a happy situation to be
in,” Blackman said. “Anybody who
says they love that situation is crazy.
But it happens all the time. If you
can’t handle it, you’re out of it.”
SEATTLE (AP) — In the begin
ning, Pat Riley didn’t have to worry
about his starting lineup as coach of
the West squad for the 37th NBA
All-Star game.
Until Houston’s Ralph Sampson
injured his knee last week, and NBA
Commissioner David Stern chose the
Seattle SuperSonics’ Tom Chambers
to fill in.
So Riley was faced with starting
one of the original reserve players,
or Chambers — the only All-Star
from the game’s host city.
He chose Chambers.
The upshot was a delighted King-
dome — a game-high 34 points for
Chambers and recognition as the
game’s Most Valuable Player.
“Starting Tom was a great coach
ing move,” Riley jokingly said after
the West beat the East, 154-149 in
Chambers’ 34 equaled George Ger-
vin in 1980 and Julius Erving, who
played his final All-Star contest Sun
day, in 1984.

be booed in front of 40,000 fans be
fore the game started.”
“I could have done things differ
ently, but Tom showed for himself
“Today I’m the best in the world,”
Chambers said. “It’s unfathomable,
me, Tom Chambers, can be that. It
means everything. It’s just a tremen
dous thrill. I’m as excited as I can
be.”
He also gave credit to Dallas' Ro
lando Blackman, who sent the game
into overtime with a pair of free
throws with no time left in regula
tion play and was runner-up for the
MVP award. In the overtime, Black
man and Chambers each scored four
points as the West won for only the
second time in eight games.
“My award wouldn’t have been
possible if Rolando had missed one

America’s Cup arrives at White House
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Stars & Stripes crew brought the
America’s Cup to the White House
on Monday, where President Rea
gan ribbed a triumphant Dennis
Conner as the first man to lose sail
ing’s prized trophy and praised him
as the first to win it back.
A beaming Reagan and skipper
Conner hoisted aloft the 136-year-
old, ornate silver prize as Conner’s
11-man crew and Vice President
George Bush looked on.
“Today the cup that went Down
Under has come back up,” Reagan
boasted of the Feb. 4 recapturing of
the trophy Conner lost to Australia
in 1983.
The president, sporting a bush-
man’s hat won in a bet with Austra
lian Prime Minister Robert Hawke,
called Stars 8c Stripes’ '4-0 win a vic
tory for American technology and
competitiveness.
Reagan also praised the crew,
which clocked some 1,800 hours of
sailing on their quest to restore the
cup to its namesake nation.
“No matter how sleek the yacht, it
still comes down to what the skipper
and crew do with her in the open
ocean,” Reagan said.
Conner — assured behind the
helm, but shy before a camera — was
not at a loss for words in the room
packed with press, dignitaries and
supporters waving tiny American
flags.
“It’s really a victory for the Ameri
can spirit,” he said of the two-year,
$20-million quest.
Reagan, too, appeared robust a
little over a month after his success
ful prostate surgery.
The president and Conner traded
quips, after Reagan reported Con
ner’s cool-headed response to a crit
ical sail failure in a crucial race. “You
only said, ‘Hey, that’s too bad,’ ”
Reagan said.
“That’s not all I said,” Conner
confessed, interrupting.
“ . . . All you said that’s printable,”
Reagan retorted.
Conner presented Reagan with a
model of Stars 8c Stripes’ novel keel,
which champions and challengers
credited for giving the 12-meter
yacht its speed.
Conner also hand-delivered a
note to Reagan from Hawke. “My
dear Ron,” Conner quoted the prime
minister, “It’s only a temporary pos
session and we’ll be back to get it in
1990.”
The ceremony was attended by F.
Rawdon Dalrymple, the Australian
ambassador to the U.S. Reagan
f traised the Australians as “open,
riendly and sportsmanlike.”
Conner and crew members were
here on a victory junket that began
last week after the regatta in Fre
mantle, Australia.
“It’s a great way to begin our trip
back home to America,” the skipper
told District of Columbia Mayor
Marion Barry earlier Monday when
the mayor presented a ceremonial
key to the city to Conner and crew
members.
