Dalembert To Try Sport He Might Be Good At

Those of you who have been avoiding the Philadelphia 76ers because of poor play, lack of stars (Kevin Ollie! Two rookies you don’t know! Shavlik Randolph when he returns from injury!) or anything else, you no longer have an excuse.

Before the game, Samuel Dalembert is going to be racing a toy car against a monster truck tomorrow.

Yes, let’s go over this again: Dalembert is controlling a RC truck. The other guy — Marc McDonald, driver of the monster truck “Safe Auto Minimizer” — will race in his 10,000-pound truck. Dalembert will even get a crash course in how a monster truck works. Wow!

This is all good and fun — and it will be even more fun if the monster truck runs over Sammy D’s toy car — but it’s, of course, part of an ad, as the Monster Jam begins Friday at the Spectrum. But, as the release notes, the Monster Jam features “fire breathing robots, drag racing, and more.” After the fire breathing robots, that more could there be?

Full release after the jump.
