Just hanging out


Training camp seems to bring out everyone affiliated with a team and even a few hoops junkies who just can’t get enough.

Watching the Sixers from the stands at Cameron Indoor Stadium Wednesday was just about every member of the scouting staff including Gene Shue and European scout Danko Cvjeticanin as well as former interim coach Chris Ford (allowed back in the gym now that a certain guard is gone).

Thursday, former Duke star Gene Banks put in an appearance as did former Penn State coach Jerry Dunn.

And of course former coach and current executive vice president Larry Brown has been watching from the stands then kibitzing with Maurice Cheeks after the session.

Duke coach Mike Krzyzweski came through the press room Thursday morning and was telling tales on Sixers GM Billy King, who played for Coach K. Speaking of which, the picture is of King (55) blocking a shot by Muggsy Bogues, who stood about 5-foot-3. The picture, which hangs outside the Duke locker room, honors King’s selection as the 1988 Defensive Player of the Year. It also earns him all kinds of grief every time training camp is held here.
