At this point, it appears that it’s not if, but rather when, Monta Ellis will be traded from the Warriors. With his agent, Jeff Fried, scheduled to meet with team management in Oakland tomorrow, apparently at Don Nelson’s urging, Golden State has been calling teams and offering to trade Ellis all week.

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.

Although I’m at the Knicks/Cavs game, I have eyes everywhere. Check out this ridiculous dunk by Andre Iguodala on Terrence Williams. Wow!

A year ago, Elton Brand’s EB1 signature shoe was one of the hottest selling kicks on the market. This year, Brand and the folks at Converse came back stronger with the second edition, the EB2. With its double strap and the iconic Star Chevron logo, this fresh shoe is now available at JCPenney. Best of all, the EB2 retails at just $65 for adult sizes and $50 for kid sizes. Read More »

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…

It’s been a tough year for Jerry Stackhouse. First he appeared in just 10 games for the Mavericks last season while averaging career lows in points (4.2), rebounds (1.7), assists (1.2) and minutes (16.2) per game. Then he was waived by the Grizzlies after being acquired in an offseason trade. And if that wasn’t enough, he got crowned by John Wall in perhaps the dunk of the summer. But while most people might think he should just hang ‘em up, Jerry Stackhouse can’t go out like this. Read More »

Our boy @kevinwildes posted this on Twitter and I couldn’t help but “retweet it” on the site.

While I can understand after spending 10 seasons in the front office that former Sixers GM Billy King has a thing or two to say about Allen Iverson, but this just seems to be putting the future first ballot Hall of Famer on blast. Definitely not the kind of endorsement you want from your former boss when you’re currently unemployed: Read More »

Yesterday afternoon, a bunch of the crew was at the Cherry Hill (N.J.) Mall (about 20 minutes outside of Philly) to celebrate the opening of the country’s fourth House of Hoops by Foot Locker (the other locations are Harlem, Chicago and Los Angeles).

The celebration was done right, as Andre Iguodala, aka “Chief Blocka,” and Thad Young came through to talk about the Nike Hyperize shoe, The Hyperizers, and to answer questions from more than 100 local kids who, after taking part in basketball skills clinics in the morning, were brought in for the event. As you can see, ‘Dre was in his full Hyperizer getup. Read More »

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 »
