Jameer Nelson Receives Warm Welcome in Philly
Tim Povtak of the ORLANDO SENTINEL writes, “It's a big deal when Jameer Nelson comes back to Philadelphia, where he starred at nearby Chester High School and at Saint Joseph's. When the Magic team plane landed Thursday night, half the team went directly to his mother's home in Chester, where they dined.
Nelson needed close to 100 tickets Friday for friends and family. And in that group was St. Joe's Coach Phil Martelli, who rode Nelson all the way to a 27-0 regular-season record and a spot in the 2004 NCAA East Rutherford Regional final."
