Draft hype
The NBA draft, and the months preceding it, is a big spectacle. Of course, it didn't always used to be that way. Here's how Stan Love found out he was drafted. Stan Love was selected No. 9 by the Baltimore Bullets in 1971.
``I was driving down Interstate 5 from Eugene to L.A. when I heard on the radio that I was drafted by Baltimore,'' Love said. ``I pulled over to look at a map and see where it was.''

About Inside UCLA
This is Brian Dohn's sixth season covering UCLA after spending 4 1/2 years covering the Dodgers for the Daily News and other Los Angeles Newspaper Group papers. He graduated from Rutgers, where the first college football game was played in 1869. Sure, the Scarlet Knights suffered for a long time, but now RU is doing what Jerseyans always thought was possible. Winning at Rutgers also proves winning is possible everywhere else in the nation, so underachieving coaches better be careful. Now, if only men's hoops can turn it around.
Pulled over to see where Baltimore was on the map? Obviously Stan didn't spend much time in college either.
WOW, shocker! Another comment from Stan Love. In all honesty, who really cares?
Stan better check his history. Interstate 5, at least the San Jouquin Valley leg, did not open until the summer of 1972.
