MICHAEL JORDAN NOT A BIG FAN OF SPORT'S YOUNG GUNS

          MICHAEL JORDAN is interviewed by Tom Zenner in MAXIM 
     and says that the NBA's young players don't try to learn
     more from him because "most of the young kids are assholes. 
     And that's because of y'all.  The more media coverage the
     kids get, the more money they get, and that's when they
     become assholes.  They won't let coaches tell them how to
     improve."  Jordan said young players "look at my success too
     much, and they think they can take shortcuts to get it." 
     Jordan: "For example, the North Carolina kids came [to
     Jordan's basketball camp outside of Chicago], and they were
     the worst I ever had.  I'm not (expletive) kidding.  They
     didn't want to do any work" (MAXIM, 11/98 issue).
