Chapter 10: Bad News for the NBA

[The camera switches to a hotel room where the news is on TV.]

Ahmad Rashad: In a shocking development, 24 NBA players have been placed on a disabled list in the last 24 hours, all suffering from the same mysterious ailment. Whatever this mystery is, it seems to have a devastating affect on the player's coordination. Watch Patrick Ewing.

Michael Jordan: [Talking to his family on the phone] Yeah, I'll be home in a couple of days. Put your mom on the phone.[Michael watches the news and sees Patrick Ewing hit in the head with the ball and it shows Charlotte Hornet's players Larry Johnson and Muggsy Bogues.]

Michael Jordan: (On the phone) Hey baby, how you doing? You watching TV?

Ahmad Rashad: It wasn't just here in New York, that's really frightening about it. Check out Muggsy Bogues and Larry Johnson at the Highlands.[Michael watches Muggsy Bogues twitching around as the 76er's player steals the ball and runs to the hoop.]

Coach on TV: [Angrily] What the hell's going on!?

Hornet's Player: You all right, Larry?

Larry Johnson: I'm ready coach, sure all right. (Tries to drink the water but it spilled all over him)

Michael Jordan: [To himself] Looks like I retired just in time. (Hears knocking on the door, On phone) All right, baby. I gotta go, I'll call you later? Love you bye.[Michael hangs up the phone and sees Shawn Bradley, walking down the court trying not to trip and Michael hears knocking again.]

Michael Jordan: It's open!

Stan Podolak: [Opens the door] Come on, Michael, it's game time. Get your hanes on, grab your Wheaties and your Gatorade. We'll pick up a big mac on the way to the ball park.

Ahmad Rashad: Now we take you live to the Forum in Los Angeles, where the Lakers are refusing to take the court.[The camera switches to Los Angeles, reporters, camera men, and fans gather around the Lakers and their coach comes out of the locker room.]

Laker's Coach: Guys, we gotta get dressed. We got a game in 5 minutes. I mean, we're talking about a huge fine here.

Laker's Player: No way coach

Del Harris: Oh.

Cedric Ceballos: You heard what happened to Barkley and Ewing. It's got to be germs in there or something.

Laker's Players: [Agreeing] Yeah, yeah that's right.

Del Harris: Cedric, that was in New York 3,000 miles away.

Laker's Player 3: Bacteria like that can travel than the speed of light.

Laker's Player: Yeah it could be Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

Laker's Players: Yeah could be.

Del Harris: [Sighs] All right dress in the hallway.

Laker's Players: Okay.[The Laker's put gas masks on as they prepare to go the locker room.]
