Sixers and Mitchell & Ness drop Allen Iverson-inspired collection

Twenty-five years removed from the Sixers’ most recent NBA Finals berth, Allen Iverson remains the definitive Philadelphia basketball star this century and one of the most beloved athletes in Philly history. Enough time has passed that even those Sixers fans who didn’t watch Iverson live with their own two eyes have now become aware of […]

Sixers back in playoff position after standings help Wednesday

You couldn’t have drawn up Wednesday night’s results any better as a Philadelphia 76ers fan. The Sixers overcame Joel Embiid’s illness-related absence and a poor defensive effort in the first half to defeat Washington, 153-131. Good and fun to watch, but certainly not unexpected against a Wizards team at the bottom of the Eastern Conference. […]

Would a ring truly change the narrative around Joel Embiid?

Things are just different when it comes to sports in Philadelphia. The microscope players are under and the feedback they receive from this fervent fan base, through both good times and bad, is unparalleled. For a city that’s been relatively light on championships for the last century, goodwill is hard to come by. It’s what […]

Sixers have ideal chance to secure key win against tanking Wizards

Well, Monday didn’t go as hoped for the Sixers. With cool shooting nights from their stars, while Tyler Herro led the way with 30 points for Miami who went on a 14-0 run in the last few minutes to take control, the Sixers lost to the Heat, 119-109. It was an underwhelming performance and frustrating result. […]

5 Sixers thoughts: Evan Turner’s Philly comments, the Play-In Tournament and more

A new Sixers column? Let’s get after it… Evan Turner puts Philadelphia on blast I’m certainly someone who holds a grudge when it comes to Philly sports figures who sucked in this fair city of ours. Some, however, ultimately slip through the cracks, forgotten for even freaks like myself. One player I hadn’t thought of […]

Editor-in-chief mailbag: We’re so back (for now)

It’s amazing what can happen in a week, especially for a franchise as strange as your Philadelphia 76ers. This was the Sixers’ starting lineup last Monday against the Oklahoma City Thunder: This was their starting lineup this past Saturday against the Charlotte Hornets: Truly hilarious. But hey, Saturday’s win over the Hornets was a big […]

Sixers set to be full-strength vs. Heat in Eastern Conference matchup Monday

It’s been a whirlwind week for the Sixers (well, it’s been a whirlwind few seasons honestly, but who’s counting?). After starting with most of their starting lineup sidelined on Monday, things ended on a very high note come Saturday night with Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and Paul George all available for the Sixers’ gutsy win […]

For one night, the Sixers’ vision was a reality (without squinting)

The Sixers went all out on their recruitment pitch for Paul George. They even enlisted the help of one of the most legendary figures in franchise (and basketball) history, Julius Erving. So, why have Erving involved, aside from him being arguably the coolest person to ever exist? To sell George on what he could be […]

Healthy Sixers secure statement road win over red-hot Hornets
