Deadspin
Here are some more not-so-revealing photos of an NBA dance team, courtesy of internet rapscallion Don Chavez, who pulled these pictures of the Sixers dance team acting like an ample-bosomed professional dance team out at a bar, from some unsuspecting member's Webshots album. The significance of this picture is two-fold: the Sixers dance team would most likely not receive any attention from the roving eyes of the internet unless they are a playoff team. They are. New GM Ed Stefanski's a genius.
Also? Let's not forget that the Sixers dance team also made the Final Four of the NBA 2008 Dance Team Bracket, losing out to the eventual champions, the Miami Heat dancers. (The Miami Heat dancers are like the Yankees of NBA dance teams. )
So, for the Sixers dance team, a pack of girls that lack the high-priced talent, recruitment pool and aesthetic enhancement of those teams from LA and Miami to make it that far, it is truly a wonderful achivement. They're like the George Mason of NBA dance teams. Once again, new GM Ed Stefanski deserves all the credit.

Can I get a shot of penicillin before saying "yes, yes, yes, yes" please?
Reason #117 Oklahoma City doesnt deserve a basketball team, the proposed dance team.

Dr. J! And Moses Malone...
deadspin is broke again.
Yes. Sure, why not? Hell yes. Hell yes -- twice.
(Did not expect the Asian. I knew Philly would get some good Nubiana, but the rest of the non-white pool of talent would seem lacking. I was wrong. Fortunately.)
The Braves just popped back to back to back homers
@Steve Trachsel, Ace: You evil, evil man. +1 to you, sir.
The Halloween picture cracks me up. Slutty fairy, slutty flight attendant, slutty Catwoman, slutty army girl, slutty Tinkerbell, slutty princess, slutty... Leonardo the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle?
Yes, maybe, yes, yes.
For all the stereotypical jokes, Philly does have "talent".
@josereyes.theroof wishes to perform Tim Harris's sack-dance...: Honestly? I was expecting you (or anyone else, for that matter) to request being the meat in the sandwich between the last two girls.
And that Asian gal? She looks dirty. In a toys and handcuffs kinda way. My vote's for her.
@Steve Trachsel, Ace: That was sweet. They could have used one of those last night though.
@44 in a Row: you got your star! Maybe I was the deciding follower .
Congrats to the Philly underdogs, but let's also give credit to the upstart Raptors Dance Pak, who made it all the way to the quarters despite being made up of one moose.
you got your star! Maybe I was the deciding follower.
Don't ever let anyone tell you that being passive-aggressive doesn't pay off.
I'd say yes to all four, but I don't think I'm in good enough shape to pull something like that. I'll take half and half from #3 please.
And is Ms. Pirate of the Month for April a "yes"? I'm on the fence.

That NBA dancers tourney was rigged. There is no way Laker girls were bounced out in the second round.
He he, I said "bounce".
@katolesce: Nope, sorry. That sneer is a killer - looks like she just smelled poo. USDA Grade A Butterface.
/hypocritcally sexist
@44 in a Row: Now I have to whine for another 20 followers.
Follow me you stupid fucks, I want a star.
(this star/no-star thing is like a Dr. Suess book)
#2 is a no. She's been hitting the La Lohan spray tan booth toooo much. Oompa Loompa orange is not a good look on anyone.
"God bless that wiretapping bastard!"
@Steve Trachsel, Ace: 19 my friend.
@Steve Trachsel, Ace: I'll follow you if you follow me...I wanna star too. Sniff sniff, whine whine.
@Yostal: This episode is too fucking excellent.
@longefellowes:
I was torn. It was the sneer and the lingerie picture that had me divided.
/thinks the sneer in bed wouldn't be so bad.
@katolesce: no. she has a permanent 5 year old smile. and not in a good way.
@longefellowes: i'm already your friend! i'm sending starry thoughts your way.
76er? That's about a half a dozen too much, am I right fellas?
Fuck. Now I have to head over to Fleshbot. Excuse me.
If I don't have my star by now, well then I'm just going out drinking and carousing with people of questionable character...
@katolesce: See, I'd think the sneer would be a)a turn off, and (b)a potential commentary on performance. She just looks too spoiled/high maintenance/critical of anything less than brand name couture.
@Steve Trachsel, Ace: Why come we don't have a star?
@longefellowes:
I guess that's why I am a little turned on by it. If it was a commentary on my performance, then it would most likely be an accurate commentary.
Smoltz with 10K in 5 innings, but he's done for the night.
@TattooedMess(iah):I got your back.
@longefellowes: done
@Matt_T: a bit of a Scott Kazmir performance, eh?
@katolesce: That was said perfectly. So now I follow you.
@Fat-Fat: I've added you good sir. That should get you a little closer.
@StevePerryPsychOut: Not bad for a 42 year old guy
@Fat-Fat: and I follow you. Perhaps soon we will all be starts?
@Yostal: You don't need it but know you have a friend.
[threadjack]
I'm hoping I can utilize the collective genius of the commentariat to find out how to block restricted telephone numbers from calling my cell phone.
[/end threadjack]
@PQ Crash: HAHA! You don't have a star. You suck.
/sniff...
@StevePerryPsychOut: Hmmm..I thought I already followed you. But now I do. Thanks kind man. If everyone on Deadspin has a star we make this shit irrelevant! FREEDOM!!!!
@Jehovahs Witness Protection Program:
You mean telesales or something else? I know I can't block ANY numbers on my cell (Sprint), it's not an option on my play, which is the most expensive plan they offer (no land line). So, I'm interested in an answer to that too!
@PQ Crash: Because I will PWN you in fantasy I will follow you.
/you said Putz would suck not get hurt. when's he coming back?
I could get behind Fleshbot (heheheh) a lot easier if it wasn't for all the occasional, you know... gay porn over there.
Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course.
The Beeper King Lives!!!
@lisa: Lisa!
@MrRedDevil:
Good evenin good sir...how has your week been?
I do not enjoy this 5th inning trend for Beckett this season. Accuracy flies out the window.
@lisa: so so, but getting better. And you?
@Jehovahs Witness Protection Program: @lisa: For starters, put your cell number on the national Do Not Call list. That will eventually cut down on the shit/spam. www.donotcall.gov
Otherwise, I got nuthin.
@She Blinded Me With Violence: Discussion at work today: If you could give yourself head, would you?
I now bring this conversation to DUAN. Sooooo?
@Fat-Fat: Why are you talking shit, Im pretty sure Im in first place.
@lisa: Yeah, exactly. It doesn't get offered from Verizon, either (or ATT.) If I wanted to hear about getting butt-plugged, I'd read BALLS DEEP.
You can use a third party like grand central..
