Kidd passes Magic for No. 3

Jason Kidd passed Magic Johnson for No. 3 on the NBA’s career assist list.

With his 14th assist in Dallas on Sunday, Kidd hit 10,142 for his career. The milestone came on a dish to Josh Howard for an 18-footer with a minute left in the second quarter of a game against Phoenix.

He received a standing ovation when it was announced. Among those on their feet: broadcaster Mark Jackson, who is No. 2 on the list with 10,334. Kidd finished the first half with 16 assists, tying his season-best for a full game.

John Stockton is the record-holder with 15,806.

Dallas defeated Phoenix 140-116 and Kidd finished with 19 points and 20 assists, his season high.

IOC officials tour Chicago

It may be the biggest Chicago road trip since the Blues Brothers hit town – the International Olympic Committee’s tour of sites where the city wants to hold the 2016 Summer Olympics.

Members of the IOC inspection team were driven Sunday to existing facilities, such as Soldier Field, and to the sites of those still on the drawing board, such as the Olympic Stadium.

It is arguably the most important day of their nearly weeklong visit, which ends Tuesday, for the simple reason that it gives organizers the chance to drive home a key point of their bid – that Chicago’s Olympics would be a compact affair.

“Today is the day we can really show that,” United States Olympic Committee spokesman Darryl Seibel said. “The significance of today is that it’s an opportunity not only to present plans, but to show those plans – bring them to life.”

The tour ended with a video greeting from Michael Jordan, a two-time Olympic gold medalist, at the city’s United Center, where Jordan played for the Chicago Bulls.

“The memory of standing as a representative of the United States in the Olympics was one of the proudest moments of my life,” Jordan told IOC members as children played basketball nearby.

Chicago is the first stop for the inspection team, which will also visit Rio de Janeiro, Madrid, and Tokyo before voting in October on which city is awarded the games.

Al Dia says 50 guests attended the wedding in Santa Teresa, a beachside town.

The newspaper says the Brazilian supermodel wore blue and the quarterback beige Saturday.

The couple were reportedly first married in the United States in February.
