I hope everybody has a great one ... except Ben Simmons.As a Philadelphia 76ers fan, this saga has gotten old extremely quickly. Do the Sixers have a timeline in which they'd like to deal Simmons by?

March Madne s returned and it was glorious. But Bill Barber Men Jersey it'll be a huge boost to have fans back at full attendance for games acro s the country.

NBA announces 75th Anniversary Team ... and snubs some great players The NBA is embarking on its 75th season and, in an effort to celebrate that accomplishment, the league . There were 76 players included on the list as a result of a tie. A panel of voters submitted selections much like when the league announced a team for its 50th anniversary back in 1996. The final 26 players on the list were announced on Thursday Carter Hart Jersey . As should come as no surprise, there was an insane amount of talent of this list. Current players like Giannis Antetokounmpo, LeBron James and Kevin Durant, as well as legends like Wilt Chamberlain, Bob Petitt and Bill Ru sell made the 75th Anniversary Team. It was definitely a strong mix of players from different decades, which showcased just how much the game has changed over the years.As with a list like this, it's obviously going to be open to debate, but here are a few players that I think were snubbed:Dikembe Mutombo: Mutombo was one of the most feared rim protectors in NBA history.

Is he on this list if he didn't mi s the past two seasons due to injury? Perhaps, but it honestly shouldn't matterDwight Howard: Howard is another big man that should've been on the list. The former No. 1 pick absolutely dominated the center position over the first 10 years of his career and also ranks 12th all-time with over 14,000 rebounds. Howard is also one of the most gifted shot blockers in the game's history with over 2,000 career rejections Odds & EndsThe American Athletic Conference , which would expand it to 15 members.
