Nets F JAYSON WILLIAMS writes "The Basketball Diary"
for the current issue of GQ. The diary details Williams'
'96-97 season with the Nets. WILLIAMS, on MICHAEL JORDAN:
"When the cameras are on, Michael's smiling because he knows
he's gonna make another $60 million in endorsements. But if
he's got a problem with you, he'll catch you after the game,
and he'll put you right on your ass" (GQ, 6/97 issue).
...TIGER WOODS and FUZZY ZOELLER met for a "brief but
cordial" conversation over lunch Tuesday at the Colonial
Country Club in Ft. Worth, TX, to discuss Zoeller's racially
insensitive comments following The Masters. Woods: "We had
a nice talk. ... Over time, I think we'll see it was an
incident which I think was good for golf" (DALLAS MORNING
NEWS, 5/21)....ABC's BARBARA WALTERS, on WOODS, who will be
a part of her "Six to Watch" special tonight at 10:00pm ET:
"I think that he is the kind of man who is a role model and
wants to be a role model ... he realizes what his influence
can be" ("Late Show," CBS, 5/20)....The 2nd annual Women in
