Where did the Philadelphia Diamonds go?
Back in May, Metro Philadelphia broke the news of a new basketball franchise in Philly — the Philadelphia Diamonds, a bikini basketball squad that would be playing home games on Roosevelt Boulevard.
There were five teams signed up and the Diamonds’ first game was scheduled for June 29. Less than two months later, the team has vanished into thin air. There aren’t even records or box scores proving the Diamonds played that first game. The team’s official Twitter account hasn’t posted anything basketball-related since June 20, saying only “BIKINI BASKETBALL begins in 2 days.”
On the Bikini Basketball website, the Philadelphia Diamonds are no longer listed as a franchise. There are just four teams: the Miami Spice, Houston Inferno, Las Vegas Fantasy, Illinois Heart.
One of the players told Metro that “diamonds are forever.” If that’s the case, where are they hiding? If anyone knows the whereabouts, please contact the Jabronis ASAP.
