We've seen multiple Philadelphia athletes take time out to work at Modell's Sporting Goods over the last few years. Jrue Holiday was the newest athlete in the city of Brotherly Love to rock the Modell's employee gear but nobody even noticed it was in fact, your starting point guard for the Philadelphia 76ers.
In other Sixers related news, the Chicago Bulls took game one of the first round series yesterday dominating the 76ers in the Windy City. It came at a hefty price for the Bulls. 2010-2011 NBA league MVP Derrick Rose tore his ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) with just over a minute left to play with the game basically out of reach. Rose's knee buckled on a hop step and he went to the floor in agonizing pain immediately.
Rose's injury gives the Sixers a slightly better chance to advance to the second round, but the Bulls played very well without Rose during his injury plagued year going 18-9 with the star point guard out of the line up.
Former Sixer and current Bull Kyle Korver, who can shoot the three ball from anywhere on the hardwood called it "The Saddest Win".
Game two is slated for Tuesday night in Chicago.
Videos of Holiday working at Modell's and the play where Rose tore his ACL are below:
