Battle for I-95 redux
Here's everything we know about tonight's summer-league game to end all summer-league games at the Palestra:
The game is set to tip at 6 p.m., and tickets are sold out. But you can probably pick one up on 33rd street for a pretty penny. The game will be broadcast for free on SI.com, and the DP Sports crew will be liveblogging from courtside.
The game will feature Carmelo Anthony's All-Stars (loosely based out of Baltimore) taking on the home-town heroes of Hakim Warrick's Team Philly. Warrick's crew has home-court advantage, but Melo has star power, with LeBron James, Chris Paul and Kevin Durant on his bench.
We've also seen conflicting rumors about the participation of former 76ers star Allen Iverson. His manager says he's out, but ESPN reported a source saying he's in. We'll know tonight.
The game will benefit a variety of charities. Warrick, a West-Philly native spent time yesterday at the West Philadelphia Community Center, one of the beneficiaries of the game.
