Wall's eligibility in question

Southeastern Conference commissioner Mike Slive told ESPN.com that he believes the NCAA's agents and amateurism group -- not enforcement officials -- are looking into the eligibility of Kentucky freshman John Wall and Mississippi State freshman Renardo Sidney.

ESPN.com reported that Wall's issues stem from his relationship with AAU coach Brian Clifton, who was a certified agent in 2007 and 2008. Wall made at least two unofficial recruiting visits to Kentucky during that period.

"Those are amateur issues that arose prior to their coming to our schools," Slive said. "Those are strictly amateurism issues. As we told our people, somebody needs to determine if they are eligible. It's not relative to you, it's relative to them."

Jordan at Hall: Tears, cheers

When the bright lights go on, Michael Jordan still knows how to wow a crowd.

He did so Friday night at his Basketball Hall of Fame induction. Following a retrospective video of his career, Jordan cried before starting his 22-minute speech. But he rebounded, making the crowd laugh and applaud repeatedly.

And then Jordan closed the speech with a flourish, a “you-can't-be-serious” moment that was signature MJ.

Dads, kids, hoops a winning combo

Jim White Jr. could barely contain himself.

"Hey dad, hold this!" Jim, 11, said Saturday as he handed over a basketball autographed by members of the Tar Heels' varsity men's and women's basketball teams.

Tugging on his sleeves and turning from side to side, he couldn't wait to show off names he also had inked on his shirt.
