Nothin' like fun at the ol' ballpark, especially when you get midnight movies on the scoreboard and breakfast with Orlando Cepeda. Page 2's Jim Caple and 325 other lucky souls hunkered down Wednesday night on the same Pac Bell grass trod by Barry Bonds and saw a beautiful sunrise come up over San Francisco Bay.

As the NBA prepares to induct its latest draftees, Page 2's Dan Shanoff went behind the scenes for the inside scoop on who's wearing what, along with all the whys, whens and wheres of the players expect to go in the lottery. Plus, we sit down with Texas point guard T.J. Ford for 10 Burning Questions.

The Daily Quickie Who's Most Overrated?
The Daily Quickie always comes to play on Monday night, especially with Lisa Guerrero and Britney Spears a part of "Monday Night Football." Plus, Page 2 turned the mic around on Guerrero with our 10 Burning Questions.
Is Mariah Carey the most overrated singer in the business? Is Derek Jeter as good as his pub? Our Most Overrated Person Alive bracket lets you tell us what you think about musicians and athletes making much ado about nothing.

SEARCHING FOR THE NEXT ANNA
Anna Kournikova isn't gracing Wimbledon this year, but Page 2's Patrick Hruby is. And Patrick finds a bevy of candidates to fill the void left by Anna, including the fetching Maria Sharapova.


There are a lot of athletes in sports today whose reputations exceed them. We somehow pared the list down to our top 10 most overrated athletes:

10]  Chris Webber
Doesn't battle it out under the basket. Averages 60 games per season. Hasn't done what it takes to move from "very good" to "great." Struggles in the clutch.
9]  Pavel Bure
The Russian Rocket? For years he's been struggling even more than the Russian space program. And he comes at a higher price.
8]  Jake Plummer
Career passer rating: 69.0. Career TD passes: 90. Career INTs: 112. Sure, he played in the football wasteland that is Arizona, but that's no excuse: Plummer did nothing to elevate the Cardinals.
