You know the words…
“In West Philadelphia born and raised on the playground was where I spent most of my days…”
Well Big Willie and his lovely wife Jada Pinkett Smith have just become part of the new ownership group for the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers. This flies against all of the swirling divorce rumors and we LOVE that. We’re sure that Will, one of the biggest names in Hollywood is loving the opportunity to become a minority owner for a team that he has supported for years.
This is from a press release issued by the team:
The investor group is led by Harris, who will serve as Managing Owner of the 76ers and as the team’s Governor on the NBA Board of Governors. Other investors include David Blitzer, who will serve as Co-Managing Owner and an Alternate Governor of the NBA, CEO Adam Aron who will also serve as an Alternate Governor of the NBA, Martin Geller, David Heller, Travis Hennings, James Lassiter, Marc Leder, Jason Levien, Michael Rubin, Will Smith & Jada Pinkett Smith, Handy Soetedjo, Erick Thohir and Art Wrubel, all of whom have made personal investments in the team.

I wish you guys well. I wished Allen Iverson hadn’t left the team, or maybe I stand to be corrected. I will be rooting for the 76er’s. Way to go, you guys got my vote. Allen is a GREAT player. Maybe, he’ll get a championship soon.
