"He's a serious athlete," Brooks said. "That's what I love about him. He's a serious guy. He competes. He wants to win. He's a winner. We're not winning as a team, but Brad is a winning basketball player."

This was a players-only, fenced-in lot, guarded by security. Jordan parking his car on the street and leaving it there during games brought a whole slew of new problems.

He then hit the game-winning 18-footer with four seconds left to play to give the Lakers a 123-121 win.
