We promised that once team Liberty Ballers reached 500 votes for The Basketball Tournament, we would release the name of the anonymous former Sixer who agreed to join our roster. The time has finally come.
I am happy to announce that 14-year NBA veteran John Salmons will be a Liberty Baller as we chase down the $2 million prize this summer. Born and raised in the Philadelphia area, Salmons spent the first four years of his NBA career as a members of the Sixers organization before going on to play for the Sacramento Kings, Chicago Bulls, Milwaukee Bucks Toronto Raptors and New Orleans Pelicans.
