Apparently, Jennifer Lopez really does have it all -- hit singles and videos, high-grossing movies, and a boyfriend who was chosen the "sexiest man alive." And now comes word that she won a cool $400k betting on the Bucs in the Super Bowl. Page 2's Eric Immerman reveals what happened on that very special afternoon.

While everybody else is busy contemplating and admiring the last All-Star Game appearance of Michael Jordan, Page 2's Ralph Wiley is using the occasion to say goodbye to someone who won't be there -- underappreciated "civilized warrior" David Robinson.

Basketball Diaries Old School
Kids, the NBA All-Star Exhibition was once a real game, with guys actually trying to win, writes Charley Rosen. But today's game is good enough for Dan Shanoff, whose take on What's Hot and What's Not is not to be missed.
 Old is new, powder blue suddenly cool, tangerine orange the rage, and Wes Unseld the hottest thing around. Jim Caple says the retro jerseys finally answer the prayers he had as a kid and we ask you to vote for the top throwback of all.

DAILY QUICKIE
The Lakers are on a run and it's got the Daily Quickie all worked up in an All-Star frenzy (just like Mario!) In fact, in its first-half awards, the Quickie almost said Shaq was the MVP. Check to see who really deserves it and read all about Kobe's dunk of the year, Halle's ex calling it quits, Mr. October wooing King James and J-Lo's odds.


With our the next NBA No. 1 pick sitting on the bench, Page 2 reflects on the 10 best high school athletes ever.. Check out our list and vote for the best ever.

10]  Connie Hawkins (Boys High, New York City)
Hawkins was All-City first team as a junior as Boys went undefeated and won New York's ultra-competitive PSAL (Public School Athletic League) title in 1959. His senior year he averaged 25.5 ppg., including one game in which he scored 60, and Boys again went undefeated and won the 1960 PSAL title.
9]  Marion Jones (Rio Mesa High and Thousand Oaks High, Thousand Oaks, Calif.)
As a 16-year-old, Jones was already one of the fastest sprinters in the world, and won an alternate spot on the 1992 Olympics 400 meter relay team. She chose not to go to Barcelona, but if she had, she probably would have raced in at least one prelim round and taken home a team gold.
8]  Wilt Chamberlain (Overbrook High School, Philadelphia)
In a preview of what would come when he hit the NBA, Chamberlain scored a city-record 90 points in one game his senior year, even though he only played about 28 minutes (he ran off 60 points during one 10-minute run).
