    Michael Jordan, who heard Jerry Stackhouse’s stories of beating him in pickup games, outscored him, 48-15, sitting out the last nine minutes. Philadelphia Coach John Lucas said Jordan told him North Carolina Coach Dean Smith asked him to torch the rookie. Noted Jordan, delicately: "We both came out of a program where we were taught not to talk like that." . . . Grant Hill, a fast learner who faces Jordan today on national television, is begging him not to take the All-Star voting, which Hill again leads, personally. "Tell him I voted for him," said Hill. "I don’t want to do anything to get him upset." . . .

    side note:  I remember afterwards a reporter asked Stack about what Dean had requested MJ do…his reply "I didnt say I could stop Michael….I said he couldnt stop ME!"

     I know that story… Stack was cocky during that time… MJ went and demolished him for 48 points… Well, as humble as Grant Hill was, MJ torched his Pistons for 53… That was during the 72-10 season…
