Dr. J To Sell Prized Possessions

source: kimoracochran.com

The Atlantic Journal-Constitution has reported that Hall of Fame superstar Julius "Dr. J" Erving has decided to auction off some of his prized possessions he acquired during his 16-year NBA career. Among the several items included in the auction catalogue are Erving's championship rings  from the NBA and ABA.  There is some suggestion that Erving is selling off a portion of his collection because he is short on cash.  Apparently, Erving's company, The Erving Group  owes Georgia Primary Bank approximately $200,000 that stems from a $1,000,000 line of credit it received in April 2009. The bank filed a lawsuit against Erving in Fulton Superior Court seeking recovery for the amount owed.

T.O. Runnin' on Empty

What would you do if you threw a party and no one showed up? Well that's what apparently happened at a local high school just outside of Los Angeles this morning. Terrel Owens, The Sultan of Smug and the King of Me and I showed up at Calabas High School for a workout with the express intent of showing NFL scouts what his 37-year old body had left six months after ACL surgery to repair his ruptured knee.  The only problem was that no one cared enough to show up. From what I understand, his agent Drew Rosenhaus put the whole thing together but aside from a handful of curious media (and some Arena football players who participated with Owens in some passing drills), there were no NFL representatives at the gathering. Hmm. Does anyone see the irony?
