They Said It

? Tommy Lasorda, Dodger manager: "Nobody had to tell Richard Burton he was a great actor. Nobody has to tell Frank Sinatra he is a great singer. Nobody has to tell Robert Wagner he's handsome. Nobody has to tell me I'm a good manager."

? Joe Kleine, Celtics reserve center, on what it will take to get NBA stars to try out for the Olympics now that they're eligible: "You'd have to hold the tryouts in San Diego, put 'em in a condo by the water and let them bring their families down."
