Some small steps towards the season opener.

1) Dei Lynam will not be Sixers' sideline reporter anymore. She will stay in studio for pregame and post game shows, while a new girl, Jaime Maggio, will replace her on the court. Honestly I am never much caught into these "media gossip" news, I don't care much.

Of course this Jaime clearly has guido roots - and looks cute, see the pic - so she will get at least my respect, but I always found Lynam pretty good. There is a latin saying that goes "promuoveatur ut amoveatur", something like "promoting (someone) in order to move (him)": well, not sure this is the case because the studio job is a better one, I guess. So congrats to both of them for the new role.

2) I purchased my Int'l League Pass subscription. Hope the 150 dollars will be a good investment.

3) on ESPN I found this nice Uni Watch preview by Paul Lukas, covering all NBA teams. Here is what he's saying about the Sixers:

Good news in Philly, where the Sixers have switched to a really nice retro-ish uni set. They've also resurrected their old ball-shaped logo, which will appear on the new shorts. Meanwhile, the team's alternate road uni has been mothballed. Further details here and here.

Welcome aboard, Paul.

Don't mean to brag or anything, but further details, and the complete story of Sixers uniforms switch(es), can be seen here.
