The new owner of the New Jersey Nets, Mikhail Prokhorov, obviously watches a lot of NBA basketball. The latest evidence that this guy knows exactly what he’s doing? He hired former Philadelphia 76ers GM Billy King to be his new general manager. He has all of the qualities we’ve been looking for in a candidate: [...]

An old lady, a Russian, and a Jru walk into a bar with three sealed envelopes. One of the envelopes contains the rights to the number one pick in the 2010 NBA Draft. Who has the winning envelope? If you think it’s the Jru, you’re wrong. And it’s not the Russian. PHOTO CAPTION: Jru Holiday [...]
We guess this is pretty funny. Actually, it is. Not sure exactly how we came across this, but this is supposed to be the back of every ticket that is purchased at a Philadelphia sporting event. It could be the Philadelphia Eagles, Philadelphia 76ers, Philadelphia Phillies or Philadelphia Flyers. It doesn’t really matter. Of course [...]
This is great and it should be noted that this language is not safe for work. This is from FunnyorDie.com and it tells the story of a rant writer. Basically, great athletes such as Mike Tyson, Philadelphia 76ers guard Allen Iverson, Arizona Cardinals head coach Dennis Green and Stephon Marbury have used this writer’s monologues [...]

The Philadelphia 76ers have done what everyone hoped they would do months ago. They have fired their head coach Eddie Jordan. OTR thinks that GM Ed Stefanski should be hitting the bricks soon too. After all, he’s the one that thought Jordan and his Princeton offense (which is predicated on passing and jump shooting) would [...]

Former first-round pick Marreese Speights didn’t have a very good year for the Philadelphia 76ers, but it’s tough to single him out because the whole team was garbage. But beat writer Kate Fagan really lambastes him in her review of the team on Philly.com. “Consider Speights the anti-Holiday of the team,” Fagan writes. “No player [...]

Sources tell Philly.com’s Kate Fagan that Comcast-Spectacor, the company that owns the Philadelphia 76ers, is planning on firing head coach Eddie Jordan. This is a complete shocker. Why would they just fire a coach who has a system that doesn’t work, with players that can’t run that system even if it did work? How can [...]

Numerous league sources tell the Philadelphia Inquirer’s Stephen A. Smith that if Philadelphia 76ers guard Allen Iverson doesn’t get help soon, he “will either drink himself into oblivion or gamble his life away.” Look, we’ve taken our shots at Iverson before, but this sounds extremely serious.

A source close to the situation told Kate Fagan last night that Allen Iverson will not play again for the rest of the season. An official announcement is expected to come in the next few days. Iverson left the team for the second time to be with his sick daughter who has an undisclosed illness. [...]

Allen Iverson, who has been out since January 31st tending to his ill daughter, rejoined the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday and was back practicing. PHOTO CAPTION: “You thought I was going to retire?” Iverson should be suited up to play against the Miami Heat Tuesday night, but expect him to come off the bench.

The dealings between Cleveland and Phoenix seem to be a last resort for the Suns. They aren’t impressed with Ilgauskas and J. J. Hickson, but realize they need to get something for Amare Stoudemire before he walks away. The something the Suns want still remains to be Philadelphia Sixers guard/forward Andre Iguodala. Phoenix has even [...]

There seems to be a snag in the trade that would send Zydrunas Ilgauskas and J J. Hickson to Phoenix in exchange for five-time All-Star Amare Stoudemire. And that snags name is Andre Iguodala. PHOTO CAPTION: “I once caught a fish this big” The Philadelphia 76ers forward/guard is Phoenix’s top choice, according to numerous sources. [...]

Philadelphia 76ers guard Allen Iverson will miss tonight’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves and then tomorrow night in Toronto against the Raptors as he tends to his ill daughter. We have no clue what his plans are for the All-Star game in Dallas, where he was voted a starter (100% correctly I might add. Very [...]
