<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Report: Dr. J, Will Smith in group trying to buy SixersWhile one group vying to buy the Philadelphia 76ers has dropped out of the running, one high-profile group remains.According to a report from the Philadelphia Inquirer on Sunday, four groups are still in the running, including one that includes Hall of Famer Julius Erving and entertainer Will Smith, a Philadelphia native.A venture capital fund led by Ian Berg and Wayne Kimmel abandoned their quest to buy the team from Comcast Spectacor, according to a person with knowledge of the negotiating process.The Inquirer's unnamed source said that two finalists will be chosen by the end of the month with the winner selected by the end of the year. The same source said the winning bid will likely exceed $400 million.</div> Link
Wow. Either one of these two would be great. (preferably Doc.) One a Philadelphia native who knows about the team (I'm guessing) and the other one of the greatest in franchise history. He should get along well with Mo and Mo.EDIT:My bad, didnt relize they are in it together.
Please let this happen... maybe then we could actually get something done. These two guys care about winning, unlike Mr. Ed Snider who just wants money in his pocket.
Seems like Will Smith has some links to the NBA already - He's Robert Horry's twin or are they the same person? I have never seen them in the same place at the same time.
