NBA players plead case in court
Williams, Wilkins, Manning question legality of salary cap
NEW YORK (AP) — Buck
Williams, Dominique Wilkins
and Danny Manning agree.
They make a lot of money toss
ing around a basketball.
They also told a federal
judge Tuesday that millions of
dollars does not buy them hap
piness.
“I also would like the right,
the choice to live in Cleveland
if I desire ... and basically give
me the rights that every human
being has,” said Williams, a for
ward for the Portland Trail
Blazers.
“This is not about money,”
said Danny Manning of the At
lanta Hawks. “I didn’t like Los
Angeles. ... I wanted to be clos
er to home.”
Williams said players helped
the NBA recover from a drug-
stained reputation and finan
cial troubles in the early 1980s
by accepting salary caps in a
collective bargaining agree
ment.
Williams, the president of
the NBA Players Association,
testified before U.S. District
Judge Kevin Duffy in Manhat
tan at a short trial that could
end with Duffy imposing an
agreement on both sides.
Duffy will be left to decide
the legality of the NBA’s salary
cap, draft and restricted free
agency because the NBA and
its union could not work out a
deal. The decision most likely
would come after several days.
NBA commissioner David
Stem said basketball enjoyed a
boom in popularity since the re
strictions were put in place and
both players and teams have
profited.
“Profits have gone up very
nicely,” he said.
He predicted “total chaos” if
the restrictions are lifted.
At one point during testimo
ny by Williams, Duffy asked
him if the top players in the
league could make as much
money as they do now if they
all played for the same team.
“I am not sure,” Williams an
swered.
In questioning several wit
nesses, NBA lawyer Jeffrey
Mishkin pounded on the theme,
suggesting repeatedly that the
NBA enjoyed success today be
cause salary caps and other
rules created balanced teams
and thrilling games.
Some witnesses insisted the
growth in revenues paralleled
greater success at the box office
and television contracts for all
sports.
The players said they were
unfairly penalized by salary
caps that gave them a smaller
share of the growth in revenues
than they otherwise would get.
Wilkins, who made $400,000
in his first year in the NBA 12
years ago and $3.5 million last
season with the Los Angeles
Clippers, said he is currently
being offered only $2.8 million
because teams know no higher
salary slots are open.
“Basically they have me over
a barrel,” he said. “I wouldn’t
say it is insulting but it is not
what my worth is.”

“In the initial examination
we try to discern if the injury
will heal on its own,” Hamilton
said. “We try and weed out the
patients that don’t need
surgery and instruct them on
how to heal the injury on their
own.
“For other injuries that
won’t heal on their own, we rec
ommend we do the surgery.
The player then decides
whether they want to do the
surgery,” he said. The tech
niques for surgery have vastly
improved over the past 30
years, Hamilton said.
Surgery has advanced
“Back in the 60s and 70s if
you developed a knee injury
there was no way of treating
it,” Hamilton said. “In late
80s, though, they developed a
good procedure for treatment
and people could have the knee
repaired.”
Dr. J. P. Bramhall, an ortho
pedic surgeon and team doctor
for the Texas A&M football
team, said it is important for
doctors in the sports medicine
field to understand the needs of
different sports.
“You have to understand the
requirements for each sport in
order to apply the proper reha
bilitation and therapy,”
Bramhall said.
The Human Knee
The knee is one of the least stable parts of the human body. It
relies on muscles, tendons, ligaments and cartilage to hold it
together. One of the most common injuries in sports is a tear of
the anterior cruciate ligaments which hold the femur and the
tibia together.

I Injuries not only for athletes
Hamilton said the majority
of sports related injuries do not
occur to amateur or profession
al athletes, but to “weekend
warriors” who participate in
sports after nine-to-five jobs
and on weekends.
“It’s common to have people
into my office who have had
■ snow skiing injuries where
they have damaged the menisci
1 in their knee,” Hamilton said.
One of the most common in
juries Hamilton has to deal
with is a tear in the anterior
cruciate ligaments. The anteri
or cruciate ligaments connect
the femur to the tibia.
After surgery or if an injury
does not require surgery, then
a physical therapist is em
ployed to help return the ath
lete to playing strength.
Usually the orthopedist rec
ommends a series of exercises
that the athlete should per
form. It is the physical thera
pists job to make sure the exer
cises are done and done proper
ly.
'Unloading' new rage
Skip Gjolberg, a physical
therapist at St. Joseph’s Hospi
tal in Bryan, said there is a
new method of rehabilitation
that allows an athlete to heal
more quickly.
“The newest thing is called
unloading,” Gjolberg said. “We
use a harness to offset the body
weight of the athlete. This al
lows the patient to heal faster.”
In unloading, only a portion
of the patient’s body weight is
allowed to put pressure on the
injured area. This way the pa
tient can begin exercising the
area sooner to help strengthen
it as soon as possible.
However, Many injuries can
be prevented with the correct
amount of conditioning. Karl

1979. He homered after Gris
som drew a leadoff walk from
Smith, the major league save
leader, and Craig Biggio
grounded into a force play.
“At first, I
was just hop
ing to get an
at-bat. It
was late,”
McGriff said.
“I told my
self to be ag
gressive and
take some
hacks. He
gave me a
fastball
down and I hit it out.”
McGriff hit an 0-2 pitch to
left-center that Lofton chased,
but he ran into the wall while
the ball kept going and
cleared the fence.
From the start, both teams
were out to win. Roberto Alo
mar tried to bunt leading off
the game. Mike Piazza
slammed his bat after pop
ping out.
And each club spilled out of
the dugout to congratulate
runners who scored.
Gregg Jefferies pumped
his fists after a neat hook
slide past Rodriguez in the
third.
Kapchinski, head athletic
trainer for the Texas A&M Ath
letic Department, said he
works closely with the football
staff to insure the athletes are
ready to play.
“I coordinate with Mike
Clark (A&M’s strength and
conditioning coach) to make
sure the athletes are pre-
