DOWELL.bmp
Here's future Lakers forward A.C. Green jumping ball against USC forward Derrick Dowell at the Sports Arena in 1985. Sharp-eyed readers might notice the center circle logo is different because the Sports Arena also hosted high school basketball playoffs that weekend (UCLA Library).

Scotty Boy,

Wasn't that just the standard "LA SPORTS ARENA" logo that was at center court during that time?

Notice that Green is leaning on Dowell's shoulder. This should have been either a foul on Green or a stolen tip with the ball being awarded to USC.

You got it wrong. That's Dowell leaning on AC Green. Although I could see how you would be confused, Green looks like he's wearing a USC uni.
