Kansas players take back seat for a night
Pro basketball players, coaches share love of basketball, Allen Field House

The Kansas men's basketball team eagerly waited outside the Chicago locker room about 45 minutes before the opening tip, waking for a chance to meet the players.
Paul Pierce had a camcorder and a wide, child-like grin. Terry Nooner and Nick Bradford also had cameras.
Saturday night, the Jayhawks became the fans, and other players became the icons.
The Chicago Bulls defeated SuperSonics 101-92 Saturday night in an exhibition game in Allen Field House. The Sonics had defeated the Bulls 100-79 at the United Center in Chicago Friday.
A sell-out crowd of 16,300 people attended the game.

The obvious draw was Bulls guard Michael Jordan, who played 27 minutes. Jordan scored a game-high 23 points, hitting 10 of 19 shots.
Jordan played for North Carolina when Kansas men's basketball coach Roy Williams was an assistant coach. After the game, Jordan compared Williams to his mentor, retired coach Dean Smith.
"I could see that Coach Williams certainly had the attitude to be a good coach, and the players respected him," Jordan said. "He's very similar to Coach Smith. So if you can't play for Coach Williams, you can't play for anybody."
The North Carolina connection did not ston there.
Kansas assistant coach Matt Doherty started on North Carolina's 1984 team, which included Jordan and Seattle center Sam Perkins. Perkins said he was pleased fans were receptive to the game.
"Everybody claims to have tradition in basketball," Perkins said. "But I guess basketball originated here, and there is one strong tradition here like there is in Indiana, the Carolinas and some other places. The fans were very accepting of us, and we had a good feeling playing here tonight."
As for the venue, players and
coaches from both teams liked it. Karl said most of the newer NBA arenas, such as the Fleet Center, United Center and USAir Arena, were not that fan-friendly.
"Why can't an architect design a new building just like the baseball buildings — a new building that
looks old?" Karl said. "I think it would be great to build an old-looking building that looks new rather than these new, antiseptic ones."
Karl said the field house was similar to the Sonics' home court, Key Arena, in that the fans feel close to the basketball court and the action.
