Golden
State Warriors Guard Monta Ellis Draws Huge Crowd!
|
| |
 On
April 11, 2008, rising NBA Superstar Monta Ellis made
a special in-store appearance at Sports Gallery's Walnut
Creek, CA Gallery.
A Mississippi native, Monta attended Lanier High School
in Jackson where he was named the Parade Magazine High
School Player of the Year in 2005 (along with Greg Oden).
Originally headed to Mississippi, Ellis opted instead
for the NBA. Drafted by the Warriors in the 2nd round
(40th overall), Ellis cracked the starting lineup late
in the 2005-06 NBA season. However, the 2006-07 season
was really when the NBA started to take notice of Monta.
He was selected to play in the T-Mobile Rookie Challenge
during NBA's All-Star Weekend and scored an impressive
28 points. Ellis posted a solid season for the Warriors,
averaging 16.5 points per game. On April 26, he received
the NBA's Most Improved Player Award, quite an honor
for a second year player. And in 2007-08 Monta's stock
has continued to rise as he has paired with Baron Davis
to become one of the best guard combinations in the
NBA. Without a doubt a rising star on a team on the
rise! |

| Signing
for everyone in the huge crowd, Monta heard cheers from
the fans, almost as like he was playing in the Oracle
Arena. The energy from the crowd was amazing. Definitely
one of our most popular signings to date. |
