When the Philadelphia 76ers visited New Orleans in November 1977, a then-NBA single-game record crowd of 35,077 turned out. ``The New Orleans basketball fan is just as passionate as fans anywhere,'' Bertka said. ``The critical thing is institutional support.''

Quiet and humble. Miller is never the one with the colorful or catchy qu |
