You sound defensive.

I take it you’re not a morning person?

It’s super odd that your choosing this comment about nba players to get sensitive about not being a morning person

Don’t most players wake up hella early anyways? Not at 3 am like Kobe used to but a 6 am workout isn’t that bad.

Maybe they start working out at 4am and 6am is too late to start.

East Coast guys playing games to 11 or 12… Need to learn how to sleep a lot and not waste their time working out too early. Lots of game to be accomplished by figuring out a regiment that works for you

I say this as someone who was never dedicated enough to even make a HS basketball team despite having real athleticism, so no NBA player should follow what I say

Shit even after a long and stressful day at work I still hit runs with the WhatsApp basketball group from like 8-11pm. Grab some Whataburger after.

Then hate my life because I can’t sleep or I catch a headache lmao worth it though

In Adam Silver’s NBA, Sam Hinkie gets sent to the Shadow Realm while Nico gets Cooper Flagg

Why are we still here? Just to suffer?

Hinkie died for our sins

You have to watch that inerdsome video to really see how many moves Hinkie made besides those picks to give the fans some level of hope for the future 

It’s pretty remarkable how well they turned their team around. Their win totals were 44 - 22 - 24 - 40 - 57 - 68. 

Compared to the Sixers who went 34 - 19 - 18 - 10 - 28 - 52

Sure. But post Luka they were a pretty mid team that got bailed out by winning the lottery instead of having to dump all their good players and tank in order to win.

The flatter lottery odds mean that “The Process” is on shakier ground than ever before.

The concept worked through luck, as drafting always does. We take Embiid 2nd over Jabari Parker, where would you have been at for the past 10 years?

More picks is more luck, and the Sixers sure as hell got a lot of picks, but you always need a franchise star for sustained success and that’s basically pure luck of the draw. Sometimes it comes via landing the #1 pick despite being a play-in team, very occasionally it’s striking gold later in the draft, sometimes it’s sucking ass for long enough that one eventually falls into your lap, but it’s always luck.

I struggle to call landing Embiid some kind of proof of concept when it essentially was the result of two other teams being more worried about injury history than the Sixers were.

They insanely lucked out that Simmons was a baby and demanded to be traded. If Simmons was still on his max contract there then sixers wouldn’t have done anything the last 5 years

I feel like you are over selling their success. Vast majority makes it sound like they are a top 3 team of the last decade. I’d argue that less than 2/3rds of the league would swap their last 10 years with the 76ers.

You sold like 10 years of the team in order to be decent for 5. Does that count as “working”?

Purplebuffalo55 makes ONE Christmas joke…and you all shit yourself laughing
