Derek Bodner joins Liberty Ballers

I'm proud to announce that LB will be adding more talent to our team today. Most of you are probably familiar with his work. He's been one of the Sixers moderators at RealGM, he's the creator of Philly Arena, he co-hosts the weekly podcast, Sixers Beat, and does some work for Draft Express

Ladies and gentlemen, Derek Bodner!

With the addition of DB we hope to accomplish a lot of new and exciting things here at LB, so stay tuned. And don't, worry, TAFKAMB and Tanner will both assume their roles as, um, TAFKAMB and Tanner. As a matter of fact, I think I saw them doing a little rookie hazing this morning. This may or may not be a picture of Derek and John bringing coffee to TAFKAMB's office.

Here's a word from the man himself, Derek Bodner:

 I'll keep this short, as Jordan it up quite nicely. Browsing through the comments in recent days, I recognize many of the names and faces participating in the community. If you're not familiar with my viewpoints on the team, feel free to browse the PhillyArena archive, or just continue reading this site during the coming weeks.

I'd like to thank Jordan for providing me the opportunity to contribute to this community, and I look forward to the challenges ahead as I try to contribute to the outstanding site Jordan and the gang here have built up. If you have any questions, or wish to contact me, you can grab my email from my profile.

Also, follow us on Twitter!

I like Ellen!

Didn’t you watch the other day when the Jersey Shore crew was on?

I blog at Ridiculous Upside. I know you'll love it.

Libertyballers, the Borg of the Sixers Blog Universe

Apparently resistance is futile.

I occasionally contributed at Derek’s site (I guess no longer?)… so now I’m the Marlin Jackson of 2nd level Sixers blogger FA’s… now that the big names like Derek and John have gone to the fat cats over at SBNation :)

Actually, great to see lots of good contributors all in one place. And also good to see the graybeards (well maybe not quite) bringing some wisdom and perspective to the young Turks that built Libertyballers. Just hope the chemistry fits better than that of Elton Brand and the Sixers :) I’m sure it will, and hope this site continues to grow- of course the Sixers improving would help. Overall I’d place Libertyballers development well ahead of the Sixers.

You can call me TK, or if you insist, Dr. K.

Um…shit. I knew I forgot something.

Tell you what. I’ll give you 50% of the buyout I got.

I hate to pull a Kanye, but...

I’m sorry, you’re great and all (loved when you threw the smackdown down on Jordan in the Jrue post), but learning TAFKAMB has Twiter is some of the best news of all time.

I blog at Ridiculous Upside. I know you'll love it.

If you were going to do it, you could have done it right =P

“Yo Derek, I’m really happy for you…Imma let you finish. But TAFKAMB having a twitter is one of the best moments of all time! One of the best moments of all time!”
