Ben Simmons has been pampered his entire life. He’s used to everything coming easy, being unconditionally loved, and never having to answer for himself or be held with any sort of accountability. If you’re a Philadelphia sports fan, you already knew that. Simmons’ refusal to play for the Sixers in the first half of the […]
NBA Free Agency began Thursday at 6pm and by seemingly 6:01, the Sixers had spent their money. The NBA can continue with the charade that tampering doesn’t happen, but we all know the deal when Shams Charania unloads the clip right at 6pm. And soon after, the Sixers had advanced their clear and obvious off-season […]
With the NBA offseason set to begin here on the last day of the month of Kyle Schwarber (patent pending), Daryl Morey and the Sixers don’t have many big splashes to make in free agency as it currently stands.

Here is my pitch for a city-wide slogan regarding the Philadelphia sports teams: Philly sports, where the hope is plentiful, but the pain and suffering is endless. That’s the kind of Tuesday it was in the Delaware Valley. The day had every bit of predictable frustration you could possibly imagine. The Phillies played way […]
The old saying goes, “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.” Glenn Rivers (Sidebar: no, I will not call him Doc. There are two Philly sports related doctors as far as I’m concerned — Erving and Halladay — and quite frankly, Rivers isn’t cool enough nor has he done enough in this town to earn that nickname. […]
“They chose Tobias Harris over me?! Tobias Harris over me?!” Jimmy Butler with a strong message for the 76ers after the Heat beat Philly in the Eastern Conference Finals. “Tobias Harris over me?” Video from photojournalist David Silver https://t.co/NdIVGYdQts pic.twitter.com/XDONATuHHW — WPLG Local 10 Sports (@Local10Sports) May 13, 2022 Jimmy Butler galivanted into the Heat […]
We saw it coming, and it still makes you laugh and shake your head in disgust simultaneously. On Monday, Nikola Jokic was announced as the 2022 NBA MVP, beating out Joel Embiid in the media only voting. EMBIID’S VALUE It’s ironic that the announcement of Nikola Jokic winning MVP came less than 24 hours […]
