Light at end of tunnel Spurs’ Mitchell tries life without drugs SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Groping for light in a life dimmed by the haze of alcohol and cocaine, San Antonio Spurs forward Mike Mitchell cried out for help on March 11,1987. He hadn’t fallen off the prover bial cliff, but he definitely could see the end of the road coming up quickly. The sight scared him. “Everybody Tikes to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but I saw no light,” Mitchell says now. “I could see myself losing everything. Not only financially, but my kids, my wife and everything I had worked for. I was broken spiritually more than anything else.” So, after trying to cope with alco hol and cocaine problems for nearly eight years, Mitchell interrupted his NBA career that spring day by checking into a rehabilitation center in California. March 11, 1987, is a date crystal lized in Mitchell’s memory, marking what has turned out to be a mile stone in his life. “I took control of my life,” Mitch ell told the San Antonio Express- News before an informal workout with other Spurs players at Incar nate Word College. “I knew it would be a turning point. Periodically, I had been using cocaine since my third year in the league. “I hadn’t gotten to the point where I was doing what others have done when they’re addicted, but I knew I had a problem with it. I didn’t want to go down that road. I felt like I could handle it, but I couldn’t.” Mitchell’s wife, Diana, said In husband sought treatment forli drug and alcohol problems SAIM ANTONIO painfully concluding he was on path to self-destruction. “When Michael entered thedn rehab, it saved our marriage," said. “I had had enough. Well! gotten as low as you can g knew if he continued, he wouldt ! himself.” Mitchell’s drinking probltf started earlier in his NBA caret: when he was playing with theCle'f land Cavaliers. But it was thecoc® addiction that drained him fuff dally and nearly wrecked his life» marriage. “My trouble was with I them,” Mitchell said of the alcol: and cocaine. I never was highonl floor. I never played high. I’d use (cocaine) after a game and whet had a day to recuperate.” The cocaine habit sapped Mitel* emotionally and physically, buti addiction took its biggest tollonf wallet. “If you’re not a multimillionaf it will break you,” Mitchell s; : “And if you are a multimillionaire will kill you.” Rusher likes OU’s style NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Okla homa fullback Mike McKinley has heard friends imitate what the Sooners’ radio announcer says when McKinley is carrying the ball. “McKinley, he’s in the open,” the fullback says, changing his voice just a bit. “There’s one man to beat ... and he finds him!” That may be stretching things, but not by much. At 6 feet and 230 pounds, McKinley is a bruising run ner who enjoys the physical side of the game. “If you don’t enjoy being physical, playing fullback at Oklahoma, you’re at the wrong position,” said McKinley, who has a choirboy’s face and a polite, easy manner to match. “You better find some other inter ests,” he said. “You better learn to enjoy it or you’re not going to be suc cessful at it.” McKinley and his playingpartnf Kenyon Rasheed, have enjoft plenty of success this year. Rashtf is the team’s leading rusher with I yards on 75 carries. McKinley 1® carried 52 times for 310 yards, af his 5.9-yard average is the ^ among the running backs. Coach Gary Gibbs said froni^ start of the season that the fttllbad would be a strength, and thatb been the case. Both are strong, pi teal runners, although Rasheed- great tailback in high school — more moves.
