See what was brewing with Jen Scordo today. Every day on The Best Show Ever? Jen Scordo shares a few recent weird and interesting news stories. Today that includes a Broncos player leaves a generous tip and Kim Zolciak-Biermann gets slammed for clickbait… Here are her stories from today.
Broncos Safety Leaves Very Generous Tip
Broncos safety Justin Simmons went to a Waffle House recently and left his server a very generous tip, just in time for the holidays! Server Samantha Ramirez of the Parker, Colorado Waffle House says that Simmons left her a $1,000 tip after stopping in with a group of friends. Ramirez told KDVR TV, “Justin wanted to tip me, and I was like, y’all have dome enough already, and he’s like, ‘No, no, no. I want to take care of you.’” Obviously right before the holidays, an extra thousand dollars will go a long way to the mom and her children and family.

Kim Zolciak-Biermann Gets Slammed For Clickbait
Kim Zolciak-Biermann posted a picture of a sonogram on her Instagram page on Monday, with highlights on the date – December 1st and her married name… Most people would think that she was announcing a pregnancy. She also wrote in the caption, “OH BABY… what a way to end 2023.” She also led people to click on her link in bio for more information. I saw the post, but I did not click on her link in bio… I said oh wow, ok she’s pregnant again. Fans that did click on the link found themselves duped. Once you click, it redirects you to an article from September 2022 where Kim was celebrating the pregnancy news of a friend. This is not the first time she’s played this game, last month she posted that she was so excited to be a grandmother with a picture of herself and her daughter Brielle, but the link led fans to an interview she did in the past about how she would be the best grandmother when the time comes… Fans are assuming that she earns money from the clicks on these articles and interviews, so she’s just preying on her fans for the dough.

The All-Time Roster Of NBA Players From Philadelphia
PG- Earl Monroe- Philadelphia, Pa

Earl “The Pearl” Monroe has quite the NBA resume. Hall of Famer, 4-time All-Star, NBA Champion, a member of the 75th Anniversary Team, and Rookie of the Year, just to name a few of his accolades. He was more of a shooting guard, but you are not going to supplant the next guy as the team’s shooting guard. Instead, he moves over to Point Guard. Is he the ideal facilitator? No. But this team won’t exactly need that with the players they have. So instead you just get another elite scorer onto the court
SG- Kobe Bryant- Philadelphia, Pa

When you think of Basketball players from Philly, you think of Kobe. He is one of the most prolific scorers in NBA history, and led his team to 5 NBA Finals wins. From coming up playing at Lower Merion, to dominating an entire era of the NBA, Kobe is a legend. He may have played his pro basketball in LA, but he will always be part of Philly too. As evident by how he celebrated the Eagles’ first Super Bowl.
PF- Rasheed Wallace- Philadelphia, Pa

We have lots of scoring on this team, so it’s time to also add some great defensive players. Wallace had a Defensive Rating of just over 100 in his career. Rudy Gobert had the lowest Defensive rating in the NBA last year at 103. It’s a different era with more scoring, but it goes to show the caliber of defense Wallace brought to the table. He was no slouch on offense either. He is the only player on this starting 5 that is not yet in the Hall of Fame. But he does have a decent case. And even if he never does make it, he is still a fantastic player and among the best Power Forwards of his era.

Rasheed was not the only Philly representation on the Pistons team that won it all in 2004. Because Coatsville native Rip Hamilton was there too. For this team, he would bring scoring and shooting off the bench. Rip led all scorers for that Pistons team in the playoffs in 2004.
Bench- Kyle Lowry- Philadelphia, Pa

We already talked about Kyle Lowry when we did the All-Time roster for active guys from the area. The difference is in this case you get Lowry in his prime. Lowry has made 6 All-Star teams, 1 All-NBA team, and won it all with the Raptors in 2019. Not a bad guy to have coming off of your bench.
Bench- Mikal Bridges- Philadelphia, Pa

Like with Lowry, we already talked about Bridges when we made the active team of guys from the area. He would bring All-NBA Caliber defense, and some scoring, off the bench. He was the star for the active team, but on a team of Hall of Famers here, he would be one hell of a role player.
Bench- Jameer Nelson- Chester, Pa

We can’t talk Philly basketball and leave out St. Joe’s Jameer Nelson. In 2004 Nelson helped lead St Joes to the Elite 8 for the first time since 1981. He has a very strong case for being the best player in the school’s history. He went on to have a solid NBA career too, mostly playing with the Magic. He is not a Super Star or Hall of Famer like other guys on this list. But he is more than deserving of a place on the All-Time Philly team.
Bench- Aaron Mckie- Philadelphia, Pa

You can’t make one of these lists and leave McKie off. Mckie may not have had as prolific of an NBA career as the rest of this team. But he was a solid player and won 6th Man of the Year. He was also a star while at Temple alongside Eddie Jones. And he has been around Philadelphia basketball longer than anyone else here. He played in College here, coached in College here, played in the pros, and coached in the pros here. How many other guys can say they did that in any Basketball city? That is deserving of the 11th roster spot.
