Philly native Dawn Staley hits up Mitchell & Ness, rings bell before Sixers' Game 4

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Even though the Philadelphia 76ers fell short of tying up their series against the New York Knicks , the team was in good company Sunday.

North Philly native and former Temple University women's basketball coach Dawn Staley was nothing short of an all-star in South Philly on Sunday. Staley kicked off the Sixers game by ringing the bell and flaunting her Allen Iverson T-shirt.

The University of South Carolina women's basketball coach had to make a pitstop at Mitchell & Ness before the game to make sure she was stylin' while sitting courtside.

After she got fans fired up, Staley caught up with a couple of Sixers legends, Allen Iverson and Julius Erving, aka Dr. J.

The Sixers also got Staley mic'd up during the game and posted a video showing the USC coach doing exactly what everyone else was doing from their couches during the fourth quarter.

Ah, national championship-winning coaches, they're just like us!

Speaking of, the North Philly native is coming off a victory lap after winning her third NCAA Women's Basketball Championship with the South Carolina Gamecocks.
