Halloween is here

Finally, after weeks of getting ready, Halloween has arrived. Everyone in Lego Land, including the NBA players, is very excited. Antoine Walker and Allen Iverson are going trick-or-treating dressed as samurai warriors (see photo above). Like every year, they will also be collecting money for the United Nations Children's Fund (more commonly known as UNICEF) to help needy children around the world. It is a good thing that Antoine Walker and Allen Iverson are professional athletes and in excellent shape, because the collection box can become quite heavy after a long night of trick-or-treating.

There is one surprising Halloween-related development, however. Due to a lack of communication, both Vince Carter and Tony Parker have dressed up in the same costume. Hopefully Jalen Rose can help them sort out this mess. (See photo above)

Below: Happy Halloween from everyone at Ape Canyon News Service and the Overflow Blog!

Allen Iverson has not yet been signed

Allen Iverson has not yet been signed by an NBA team for the 2009-2010 season. To keep his mind off his troubles and do a little good work for the community, AI decided to hold a charity basketball tournament in my living room with a few of his friends-- Shaquille O'Neal, Tony Parker, Karl Malone, Antoine Walker, and Steve Francis.

Below, Iverson (right, in the samurai helmet) faces off against Tony Parker.

AI has shaken off his defender and is driving to the basket.

Below, Shaq battles Karl Malone for a rebound. Malone is wearing a red bandana and had to borrow someone else's legs because we couldn't find his.

Malone has committed a foul and now Shaq is ready to attempt a free throw.
