My hometown NBA team, The Philadelphia 76ers, have signed Elton Brand. He's a Forward from the L.A. Clippers we just signed for 5 years, $82 Million-- good on him. He's a damn good player, and will make the Sixers better, for sure. But this isn't what excites me about the signing.Most people may not realize this, but Brand is one of the few NBA stars who has done interesting things with his money. Namely, he co-produced Werner Herzog's last film, "Rescue Dawn." This was one of my favorite films of last year, and I look forward to seing if he has any further involvement in film, especially given that Philly is sort of a booming East Coast Movie town.
Cool news.
