NBA Live 08 rankings, Sixers at #25

Kind of hard to believe, I know. These rankings are always skewed. EA Sports has the Raptors at #28 and they won the Sadlantic Division last year. They do have old Andre Miller on the point guard list at #16, Iggy at #7 for small forwards, and Sammy D at #19 for center. I think Iggy at #7 is very gracious, and Dalembert at center is questionable in of itself.

George Lynch’s Mob - such a bad idea

George Lynch's Mob t-shirt Many moons ago, I was a season ticker holder. This was the 1999-2004 era. George Lynch was a staple of those teams, and the hard working, blue collar glue that rode opposite (yet complimentary) to the crossover stylings of Mr. Iverson. Lynch was one of my favorites. Maybe I’m a fan of ugly ball, but I won’t admit to that outright. I got this fine t-shirt sometime back then. Lynch didn’t really have product of any kind. You could get Iverson underwear, but a Lynch tee was rare. This shirt was an awful idea then, and still is - so, I had to have it. This is an actual arena sold shirt, not a guy on the corner shirt. Now it’s here for you all to enjoy.
