Probably not seeing as I actually song along and finished the theme song. That was one of my favorite shows back in the day and it's amazing that I can still remember the theme song.

Halftime shows at Sixers games will now solely consist of the Smith kids performing various skits, dance numbers, and scenes from The Tempest with the hopes of winning their parents' favor.
Whip your hair back and forth, Philly!

I know that song better than I know The Star Spangled Banner.

Has anyone noted the oddity of an NBA team being bought in spite of the lockout in what's supposed to be a money-losing league?

Good question fatty. If free agents can't sign with another team or players re-sign with a team, why is it ok for a team to be sold during the lockout?

In West Philadelphia born and raised, on the playground is where he spent most of his days. Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool and all shootin' some b-ball outside of the school.
Good on Will.
