Sixers Center: Canada’s Favorite Angel-Ghost

Earlier this summer, 76ers center and master of the stupid foul Samuel Dalembert became a Canadian citizen so he could join Canada’s national basketball team.

Canada, who apparently is even worse at basketball than the 76ers, wanted Dalembert for its team to shore up the inside game, since Wayne Gretzky was at center during qualifying for the previous Olympics. Dalembert was born in Haiti and joined his parents in Montreal as a teenager; he returns there during the summer and was a basketball star in high school.

Now that he’s a Canadian citizen, he wants to make the team as good as possible. So he’s recruited two-time NBA MVP Steve Nash to join the team. He, apparently, hopes to scare Nash into joining the squad.

“He’s probably going to get mad, I am probably going to be his little angel-ghost,” Philadelphia 76ers centre Samuel Dalembert said. “I’ll be in his ear every time he is playing [us]. ‘Steve Nash, I need two hours from you. That’s all I need from you, two hours.’ “

Yes, his little angel-ghost! I’m sure Nash will be on the national team in no time.
