Next week
At the start of a new pro basketball season, SPORTS ILLUSTRATED scouts all the NBA teams, and Gil Rogin presents the voluble owner of the St. Louis Hawks, Ben Kerner.
A sports editor turned tour guide tells the hilarious story that his "members" never hear: how it feels to shepherd a bunch of Americans on a sporting journey to Europe.
