Basketball Digest, Nov-Dec, 2004 by Theodore Slate, Bob Barmack, Jerry Howard

You do a wonderful job with BASKETBALL DIGEST, but I have to point out a slip-up in the October 2004 issue. In "The Star Sheet," you called Oscar Robertson "Oscar Robinson." That's no way to treat the point guard on my all-time All-Star team!

You made a grevious error in listing the University of Michigan as the seventh-ranked school in your prediction for the upcoming year in your college preview [October 2004]. I assume you meant Michigan State University. Am I correct?

On your "Quick Quiz" in October 2004 you claim Rashard Lewis was a first round pick. This is false. Lewis was chosen by the Seattle SuperSonics in the second round, with the 32nd pick in the 1998 NBA draft. However, Rashard has performed like a first-rounder, so I understand the mistake.

Jerry Howard

Correct on all counts, fellas. Indeed, Lewis was a second-rounder despite being selected by the NBA to wait to be drafted in the (first-rounder) "green room." And while our No. 7 write-up is on Michigan State, we did erroneously list Michigan as the country's No. 7 team on our side-bar listing of top 50 teams. As for the Big O, we're pretty sure we got it right this time (see page 20).

  • Your Work How to Win at Office Politics

    How to Win at Office Politics

    Like it or not, every workplace is a political environment. But operating effectively within it doesn’t have to mean sucking up, lying, or slinging dirt. In its purest form, office politics is simply about getting from here to there: securing a promotion, seeing an idea come to fruition, or gaining support to make an organizational change. Playing the game well is about defending your position, earning respect, exchanging favors, and keeping your sanity amid the chaos. To get started, you need to know what you really want from work, then orient your political moves toward those goals. It all starts with strong relationships and helping others; those people in return make up the support system that helps you realize your goals. Here’s how it’s done.
