A feature story in which Doug and his wife Jackie talked about ways the two keep Doug from succumbing to the extramarital temptations that come with the pro athlete lifestyle. These measures include:

- With few exceptions, Doug does not look at other women, avoiding dialogue or eye contact. Jackie explains, "Doug is allowed to look at females. I would prefer he didn't."

- Jackie often follows behind the team's bus on road trips, talking to Doug on his cellphone until they reach their destination.

- After his wife expressed uneasiness about female Toronto Raptors staff members having access to the players' locker room, Doug dressed in a separate locker room.

- Jackie insists on accompanying her husband when he is being interviewed by certain female reporters.

- The couple re-marry every year on their wedding anniversary, complete with guests and festivities.

Pro Basketball: The Christies Are Keeping Temptation On the Ropes
By Mike Wise
May 24, 2002

In the final minute of an N.B.A. playoff game on Monday night, Doug Christie raised his left fist, extending his pinkie and index fingers toward the rafters of Arco Arena. Christie, a lanky swingman for the Sacramento Kings, appeared to be calling out a play for his teammates.

But the message was actually intended for his wife, Jackie, seated in the stands. He often makes the same hand signal at least 50 times a game.

”That’s just to let my wife know I love her, and she and family are bigger than basketball,” Christie said.

Jackie Christie said she and her husband began communicating with each other during games a while ago. ”When I make this sign, it means drive to the hole,” she said. ”When I make this sign, it means smile because you look a little sad on the bench. He started making this sign and said, ‘This means I love you,’ and it developed from there. It makes me feel real special.”

Reporters who cover Christie’s former team, the Toronto Raptors, were so intrigued by the couple’s sign language that they created a betting pool when the Raptors played at Sacramento last November. By their count, Christie signaled his wife 62 times during the game.

”Sixty-two,” Jackie said, shaking her head in a pleased manner recently as she clutched her husband’s hand on the couch in their home in suburban Sacramento. ”That’s beautiful.”

When the Kings flew to Los Angeles today for Game 3 of the Western Conference finals against the Lakers on Friday night, Jackie was seated next to Doug, as much a part of the postseason experience as any family member in the N.B.A.

When Christie played for the Raptors, his wife once confronted a female fan seeking an autograph and a kiss in Toronto. ”A security guard grabbed her, but I put my hand up and told her to back off really loud,” she said. ”It scared me, because my voice sounded like a demon. It just came out. She was a pretty girl, very young. But she was touching someone she shouldn’t have been.”
