At the end of last week, someone had mentioned to me that they'd seen a Nike commercial with Andre Iguodala. I had yet to catch the video, but this afternoon I saw it, and then found it on YouTube.

It's a Nike ad specifically for Foot Locker (I believe). It includes Iguodala (as Chief Blocka), Mo Williams (as Fog Raw), Kevin Durant (as Velvet Hoop) and Rashard Lewis (as Ice-O). I guess, together, they are the "Hyperizers" and the ad is debuting their new single, "Don't Criticize (Hyperize)." You can even make the beat your ring tone. If you dare.

Say what you want about the Ad/Video, but it's huge for Iguodala to be featured in a Nike ad campaign. Here's the link if you haven't seen it and want to check it out. I hope you're internet connection is faster than mine because my computer is still trying to open the video. Click here: Andre Iguodala's Nike Ad.

The 76ers have signed free agent center Primoz Brezec.

“We feel that Primoz will provide us with additional size and depth in the front court, but just as beneficial is the wealth of experience he brings to the team not only on the NBA level, but internationally as well,” Sixers general manager Ed Stefanski said.

 Brezec (7-1, 255) has appeared in 321 games with 214 starts across seven NBA seasons with Indiana, Charlotte, Detroit and Toronto.  For his career, he has averaged 7.6 points and 4.1 rebounds in 19.0 minutes per game while shooting 50.0% from the floor and 70.6% from the line.

Last season, Brezec played for Lottomatica Virtus Roma of the Italian League.  He started the 2007-08 season with the Bobcats before being traded to the Pistons and then the Raptors.

Brezec’s best season came during the Bobcats inaugural campaign in 2004-05.  He averaged career highs of 13.0 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.2 and 0.76 blocks in 31.6 minutes per game while ranking 13th in the league with 3.1 offensive boards per game.
