Extractions: WASHINGTON D.C. There are those who claim to have been touched by an angel. Billy Crystal's magical experience was being touched by a giant. In 1987, Crystal starred in his friend Rob Reiner's romantic adventure, The Princess Bride. One of Crystal's co-stars was Andre the Giant, a beloved personality on the professional wrestling circuit. Andre, who died of heart failure in Paris in 1993, stood seven-foot-five and weighed 525 pounds. "I only met Andre for three days but he touched my heart like few people had ever done before or since. He was unusually kind and gentle for such a huge man," recalls Crystal. "I knew there was a film to be created around such an incredible personality. I started making notes in my hotel suite in London. "I mentioned my ideas to Rob and he said I was really on to something but I just kept my notes locked away because they hadn't jelled into a film. "When Andre passed away, it made me want to make the film even more. This is a movie about a giant like Andre. It is not Andre's story."

Often these fans just want to gaze at his size and ask him questions like: Do you play golf? Do you sleep in an extra long bed? Can I get on your shoulders? Muresan is polite, and gentle, and always accommodating though not with the shoulder rides. "Right now, my head is clear," he said the other night. "It's not in the game." It's into being suite ambassador. "I tell you, it's the best job in the world." Then he paused. "I like it better after they have a few beers." Posted Apr 19 by Ben Maller

Extractions: Basketball Basketball is a ball sport in which two teams of five players each try to score points by throwing the ball through a hoop. Basketball is highly suited to viewing by spectators, as it is primarily an indoor sport, played in a relatively small playing area, or "court," with only ten players, and using a large ball which is easy to follow. Additionally, the lack of protective gear makes it easy to see the reactions of the players. It is one of the most popular sports in the United States , and is also popular in other parts of the world, including South America , southern Europe , and the former Soviet Union , especially Lithuania Contents showTocToggle("show","hide") 1 History

By Chuck Woodling What's in a number? Well, if it's worn by a Kansas University basketball player, it certainly generates more interest than most. Any basketball program with as much tradition as Kansas is bound to be steeped in numerical glory. Anyone who has been in Allen Fieldhouse, for instance, has seen the retired jerseys hanging high above the south windows. Many more Kansas jersey numbers have not been retired, of course, and that's what this, with special thanks to the KU sports information office, is all about. For starters, how about 00? Double zero has been worn by only two Kansas basketball players down through the years and both of them became first-round NBA draft choices. Norm Cook was the Boston Celtics' No. 1 selection in 1975 and Greg Ostertag was a first-round pick of the Utah Jazz in 1995. Ostertag, incidentally, continues to wear 00 with the Jazz. In the NBA, as you probably know, a player can use just about any number he wants as long as it doesn't go to three digits. Chicago's wacky Dennis Rodman, for example, wears No. 91 and Washington's goony Gheorghe Muresan uses No. 77.

Extractions: August 13, 1999 AST RUTHERFORD, N.J. The Nets added size and depth Thursday when they signed the 7-foot-7-inch Gheorghe Muresan and the small forward Scott Burrell to one-year contracts. But their most intriguing move of the day was working out Lazaro Borrell, one of four basketball players who defected from Cuba during last month's Olympic qualifying tournament in San Juan, P.R. After running the 26-year-old Borrell through a series of agility and shooting drills, the Nets placed the rangy, 6-8 small forward on their training-camp roster and invited him to a second workout at the Champion Center on Friday. "I like him," said Nets Coach Don Casey, who conducted the workout. "I think he's a naturally skilled player by himself. Now, the next thing is to see him play with others. I'm looking forward to getting him in some organized competition." Borrell, considered the best player in Cuba, does not speak English but said through an interpreter that playing in the National Basketball Association has been a longtime dream. That is why the temptation to leave the Cuban national team on July 17 was too strong to resist. Borrell began playing on the Cuban national team when he was 16, and he averaged 20 points a game. He spent the last two years playing in a professional league in Argentina, where he averaged 29.8 points a game during the 1997-98 season and 20.8 points last season.

Not to Kidd Questions and answers as Jason Kidd begins packing his bags: Why was Kidd recently telling old friends from Cal that he's set on leaving the Nets, if the Spurs meet his salary demands? The way Kidd was telling it, he's tired of Byron Scott's demanding practices and all the running the Nets do when he'd rather be resting. Here's our question: What's so bad about that? From this vantage point, that speaks well for Scott, even if he did turn off half his players with his Pat Riley act. Does Kidd think he'll work less if he joins

Film & TV: Warm, Fuzzy Giant (Salt Lake City Weekly . 04-20-98) When Crystal saw gheorghe muresan playing basketball, he knew he had found hisgiant, and what a wise choice it turns out to be. muresan makes this humble, http://weeklywire.com/ww/04-20-98/slc_cinema.html
Extractions: By Mary Dickson The premise may be a turn-off to some people, but Billy Crystal's touching comedy about a gentle Romanian giant and the American promoter who discovers and is, ultimately, changed by him is so full of heart and humor it rises above the story line. A great film for kids and families, My Giant has a fairytale quality with its Central European setting, castles and giant, and its warm-hearted story. Making his acting debut, Gheorghe Muresan, the seven-foot-seven Washington Wizards basketball player, is completely winning as the film's giant. Muresan not only has an unusually expressive face, but he conveys emotional range and depth with a natural ease. His eyes are infused with sadness, sensitivity, kindness and exuberance. But it's his utter guilelessness that's so disarming. Here's a man the outside world considered a freak who has found a sense of peace and self that eludes most contemporary folk. Billy Crystal came up with the story line almost 10 years ago as a result of his friendship with World Wrestling Federation Champion Andre the Giant, who died prematurely of heart failure related to his size. Crystal met Andre while making The Princess Bride and was impressed by the large man's sensitivity. While My Giant isn't about Andre, it is inspired by him and, according to Crystal, captures his spirit. When Crystal saw Gheorghe Muresan playing basketball, he knew he had found his giant, and what a wise choice it turns out to be. Muresan makes this humble, gentle character immediately likable.
