Every day The700Level.com runs a feature called “Today in Philly Sports History.” Today’s feature looks back at this date in 1984 when Dr. J and Larry Bird basically tried to kill each other at the Boston Garden.

There’s been a ton of drama surrounding Allen Iverson over the past week or so, ranging from issues with his role on the Grizzlies and playing time, to possible problems at home which have led to A.I. taking an “indefinite” leave of absence from the team.

And now this morning, the Memphis Commercial Appeal is reporting that all of the stress may be pushing A.I. into retirement: Read More »

This is kind of awesome. Even with Taylor King trying to keep up.

As a Sixers fan, seeing Andre Iguodala living in the gym and forcing himself to make (”not take”) 500-1,000 jumpers a day is great news. Hopefully Lou and Jrue were somewhere doing the same thing …

‘Dre’s underhand-off-the-wall-nothing-but-net isn’t bad either…

I know what you’re thinking. You see that it’s an A.I./”Practice” remix and you tune it out because it’s been done to death. I did too, and didn’t watch it the first few times I saw it floating around online. But then one of my boys, a guy who is almost always on point with must-see web nonsense, sent it to me last night so I checked it out.

If you haven’t seen it yet (and a lot of you probably have - it has more than one million YouTube views), watch it now. Jim Mora is awesome and then T.O. at the end is the capper.

In case Magic fans (or Eastern Conference rivals) were wondering how healthy Jameer Nelson is…

The700Level.com just linked to a flickr account of the sports uniform site Uniwatchblog.com with what appears to be pics of the Sixers‘ new road uniforms.

I love going back to the old “Sixers” font on the chest and the classic red color. And I’m all about picking up authentic home and away game shorts in the new look when they officially drop. Not sure I’m feeling the shiny blue around the neck and arms though. Read More »

It’s a painfully slow news day in the NBA, so everyone in the hoop world was gearing up for the release of the official NBA schedule at 1 p.m. And sure enough, as soon as the schedule dropped, teams were releasing it on their home pages, their twitter feeds, issuing official press releases (the Trail Blazers are always on top of it), and trying to connect with their fan bases any way they can possibly think of.

One of my boys from Philly sent me this video earlier in the week with the message, “How have I not seen this yet?” That’s a great question - whether you love Allen Iverson, hate Allen Iverson, or are indifferent about Allen Iverson, you should watch this video. It was apparently shot last week, and it’s made the rounds on YouTube and Bill Simmons posted it the other day, but check it out if you haven’t seen it yet. Weird to see A.I. showing this kind of emotion…

One of my favorite sites, The700Level.com, points out that on this day back in 1992, in the midst of a demoralizing 38-7 (the Dream Team had reeled off 31 unanswered points at the time) destruction of the Angolan National Team, Charles Barkley decided to crack one of their players with an elbow after rampaging to an easy transition bucket. The incident happens at 3:17 of the video, but it’s worth wathing the whole thing to watch young(er) MJ, Magic, Larry Legend and Co. doing their thing…

Sir Charles’ reasoning for the ‘bow from The700Level:
