- <p> The game is a fixture of every fractured-asphalt school
- yard in the country--but when hoop heroes Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
- and Julius Erving bolt out of retirement on Feb. 28 for a night
- of one-on-one basketball, it will be anything but child's play.
- In addition to vying for a six-figure prize, the fast forward
- Dr. J. owns the outfit that dreamed up the pay-per-view cable
- contest. Meanwhile, the illness of Magic Johnson has
- Abdul-Jabbar weighing a comeback to raise alms and awareness in
- the war on AIDS. His performance against Erving may decide
- whether b-ball's top scorer returns to the courts.
