LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Lou Williams Playing at The Palestra

by Jordan Sams on Sep 16, 2011 11:14 AM PDT in Philadelphia 76ers News

Kate Fagan of Deep Sixer had the scoop earlier this week:

While the NBA player's association and owners negotiate the next collective bargaining agreement, a star-studded basketball game has been arranged -- Team Melo vs. Team Philly -- for later this month at The Palestra on the UPENN campus.

The game is set for Sunday, Sept. 25 at 6 p.m. Tickets will be $35 for 200-level seats and $50 for 100-level seats. Tickets will be available online and at the Palestra box office starting Tuesday.

Players are set to include LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul (all on the same team?), Louis "THE BOSS" Williams, Hakim Warrick, Jason Thompson, the Morris twins and others.

This gives the NBA fans in Philadelphia a chance to watch live basketball involving NBA talent for the first time in five months. If nothing else, the game is guaranteed to provide a few highlight reels, much like all the other rec league and Rucker Park games this summer.

The best news?

The game will be broadcast on the web on The Basketball Channel.

I hope Lou-Will drops at least 68 on "Team Melo".

68 might be a lot. I would be satisfied with 60 :)

"Great, I got that "excited/scared" feeling. Like 98% excited, 2% scared. Or maybe it's more - It could be two - it could be 98% scared, 2% excited but that's what makes it so intense."

I’m pretty sure it’s just about sold out, outside of some they’re saving for walk-ups that morning.
