"Kwame James Brown (born March 10, 1982) is an American professional basketball player currently playing for the Philadelphia 76ers." That is now the first line of his wikipedia entry, and it still makes me cringe but not for much longer. Friday night was a dark day. Friday, the nation mourned the loss of those 12 gunned down at the opening of the Dark Knight movie in Aurora, CO. A tragedy indeed, one that overshadowed a much lesser tragedy, but still one that broke my heart in Philadelphia, PA. Friday, the Philadelphia 76ers officially signed this 1st round bust and scrub, as Stephen A so eloquently put it on ESPN(where he works when he isn't on his second job as a Ludacris look a like) Again, Friday, July 20th is when the Sixers officially signed Kwame Brown and Friday, July 20th was the day I officially put a jihad on Sixers management. Incompetence is not an excuse, in fact in their place, it is inexcusable. They haven't been relevant since A.I. and even with all the young talent they refuse to make a serious move. I was glad they amnestied Elton Brand, but resigning Spencer Hawes and those atrocious early picks makes me want to slit my wrists and sob in the corner as I slowly bled out, oh and the kicker, they lost their best scorer in Lou Will. Now they signed Kwame Brown for 2 years and 6 million dollars? It makes no sense, we already have three bad seven footers, why add a forth HORRIBLE six eleven(er)? I'm more puzzled then angry, more embarrassed then enraged, and far too sad to be mad. I've loved this team for maybe 20 years give or take, and I am throwing in the towel and toss my lot in with the Brooklyn Nets, they are close, they will probably have dope uniforms, and if they somehow manage to get Dwight Howard without giving up too much(i.e. Humphries, Williams, Johnson) they are automatically contenders. Not to mention this is probably the only team left in the NBA I don't have a reason to hate for crushing my squad these past 10 years. To any Philly fans reading this, I tried, I really did but you can only get kicked in the dick so many times before you move out of the way. I hope you guys get a championship, but I think we can all agree Kwame Brown is not the solution. Any player that's been in the league eleven years and averages 5 RPG and 6 PPG with almost a 60% free throw shooting average should not be signed by anyone unless they don't HAVE a center. No, I retract the above statement, the Sixers could start Jrue Holiday at center and would get 5 rebounds by ACCIDENT. Well, I digress it was a foolish and shameful move on the Sixers part, but we are all going to have to move on. With that I will leave you with Kobe trying to explain how bad his ex teammate actually is....Good luck Philly this is where we part ways. LET'S GO BROOKLYN!
