SI.com to stream Sunday's game
SI.com, Sports Illustrated's website, will stream real-time video of Sunday's "Battle for I-95" at the Palestra. The charity basketball game features 16 NBA players, including stars LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant, and Chris Paul.
The game is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. on Sunday and pits "Team Melo" against "Team Philly." The Philly side includes 76ers combo guard Lou Williams, former Chester star Tyreke Evans, Hakim Warrick, The Morris twins, Kyle Lowry, and others. Team Melo includes Anthony, LeBron, Durant, and Paul, making them the heavy favorites.
The game is not scheduled to be broadcast on TV, meaning SI.com's live production is -- as of now -- the exclusive stream of the event.
