No need for a championship now. I am content!

I wonder if the NBA will now Outlaw 720s as unfair because a Philly player did it and won.

6ers Facebook is hilarious,  still arguing over embiid reaching 10k points in a few less games than Iverson.

It's sad how many people keep saying he would have done it quicker but he missed his first 2 years.

Then they get mad when people tell them it didn't matter because it's not talking about years,  it's talking about games played.  They can't grasp the concept. 

Would Love bring anything to this team at this stage of his career? Imagine he’s an upgrade over Niang, Harrell.

Rebounding. And he can shoot the occasional 3. 

when's the mcclung parade?

Love to Miami. I wonder if we even got the visit. 

6ers have let go of some decent wing talent over the past week or so,  trading Skylar Mays for Jalil Okafor, and now list Champagnie off waivers to the Spurs. He was averaging 22, 7 rebounds, and 35% from 3.

All of the talk from Embiid about not being healthy and he plays 28 minutes in the ASG.

yep...now watch him be listed as questionable for thursday's game. 

My thoughts on the ASG format:

The game is a joke and the format sucks.  Go back to East vs West and scrap the game 

Make the skills contests the actual ASG and make the team Captains assign players from their teams to the different events. 

Dunk Contest 

3pt Contest 

Skills challenge. 

This solves the problem of not having stars participate in the Saturday night activities and gets rid of having to play a meaningless game that nobody gives a crap about 

and jojo played 27 minutes in the all star game.

Memphis might not have Steven Adams so should be a win

An NBA Eastern Conference coach, according to Heavy.com, tells the story of how Bradley Beal bet Ben Simmons $20,000 he wouldn't make both of his free-throws when the Wizards were intentionally fouling Simmons in Philadelphia a few years ago.

"When that happened, Ben and Beal had this sort of animated conversation. Ben said, ‘I’m tired of you motherf*****s fouling me on purpose, man. I’m going to step up here and knock these two down. Five thousand dollars says I will.’ To which Beal replied, ‘You wanna make it 20?’ And then he went up and bricked one. I don’t think he said another word."

🤣🤣🤣

It's to the point that I feel sorry for him.  His entire career has been one long slow motion car crash that just keeps getting worse and worse.

How can you feel sorry though? He never worked.  It's not like the guy ever tried and things didn't work out. He did this himself.

I agree this is largely his own making but he also obviously has legit mental weaknesses that contributed to his collapse.  It's hard to recall someone regressing from being a quality player on his first day in the league to this point. 

I get what you are saying and I felt that way to a point but now even he knows he doesn't belong in the league but there is no way he walks away from the money.  He's going to stick around and be a perpetual punchline until his contract runs out.  

Really, would anyone be shocked if he attempted or committed suicide at some point?

That got dark. 

I probably would be surprised.  I think he knows he is stealing money at this point and is fine with that. 

I don't think he will struggle with an identity crisis after his basketball career because clearly he didn't really love the game. 

I think he will be happy when it's over and he can just continue making tons of money as a video game influencer.
