Fighter's Heaven just outside of Pottsville is where Muhammad Ali trained for some of the biggest fights of his boxing career, including the Joe Frazier and George Foreman brawls. On Thursday, another living legend made the trip to Schuylkill County to take in some history for himself: NBA Hall of Famer, 14-time All-Star, and Muhammad Ali super fan, Karl Malone.

"I don't mess with mayonnaise," Turner said. "I don't trust white condiments. I just don't feel it. I don't even like looking at them." A team chef prepares Turner's meal at the practice facility and he takes it to go after shootaround, choosing to eat it at home before he leaves for the arena. Even on nights the Blazers don't play, he sometimes makes a variation of the same meal for himself. "It's always plain," he said. "Honestly, I go get a microwavable bag of vegetables and then throw a piece of chicken on the George Forman (Grill). Anything else is a waste of time, because I don't try new things."

The Rockets, hoping to land coveted free agent Chris Bosh, plan to pull out every recruiting stop they think might work, from a band of face-painting fans on a week-long road trip to a more direct appeal of a group of Houston sports icons. They will start with a caravan of fans that hope to escort Rockets general manager Daryl Morey to his first meeting in an unprecedented national road trip they expect will lead them to the location of top free agent target. They will finish the first salvo with a recruiting video they will leave behind that will feature Yao Ming, Hakeem Olajuwon, Andre Johnson, Elvin Hayes and George Foreman making their case that Bosh should join them in Houston.
