Are the Sixers Starting to Become a Complete Embarrassment?
The Philadelphia 76ers are on the clock with Jared McCain representing the team at the 2025 NBA Draft lottery out of Duke. It would be interesting if the Sixers landed foreseeable No.1 pick Cooper Flagg but the odds are slim every year.
The Sixers have become a complete embarrassment since Julius Erving last schooled the city on basketball education with Moses Malone. Not the assertive argument of practice by Allen Iverson who was a great Sixer himself.
Pat Croce was a great supervisor in the Sixers efforts towards their last championship appearance against the Lakers but ever since. It has become a cesspool.
Yesterday, Joshua Harris announced to the world he and the Washington Commanders will be hosting the 2027 NFL Draft but what is worse is that this team is being easily forgotten about compared to some of the best franchises in sports.
Harris is a business mogul and he tried with several general managers such as Sam Hinkie, Bryan Colangelo, and Elton Brand but the time has come to question this city because there are rumors the prestige is sometimes on the line moving to Camden or Chinatown.
Daryl Morey is the current general manager, the orthodox hero of claiming James Harden in his glory days and you best believe Philadelphia makes some noise because that is what they always do as the home of Independence Hall.

What to Respect about the Legend of Lebron James
Lebron James is the greatest of his generation. Between him and Jordan, it is a tough debate between competitive defense guarded on them. But Lebron is casted not in the light of currently Bronny James nor Bryce James.
He was simply not coached right this postseason and it is okay because an exceptional young coach such as JJ Redick is permitted to cause mistakes in critical situations and learn. It just prepares to make him better knowing Lebron will return for predictably his 22nd NBA season and work with the X’s and O’s the Lakers tried to play.
There are not too many younger coaches or phenomenons such as Lebron James to enter. James entered the league without a college degree without much to show meaning. He was destined, glorified to do great unbelievable things, respectfully so.
This late season stretch was all about the team again. In the beginning, it was about Bronny James draft party and being introduced in front of the media with the Lakers 55th overall pick. Lebron called it his No.1 accomplishment and while I do not agree.
It was certainly gratifying.
When Lebron James struggled so mightily against the adversity of The Decision to leave Cleveland and join Miami for.a championship. James played, outwitted, and proved in his darkest and deepest moments. He could play in the biggest moments and stop his predecessors that included Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, and Kevin Garnett.
Ray Allen later joined Lebron James in Miami and hit one of the most historic shots in NBA Finals history with ABC/ESPN announcer Mike Breen on the call and did the courtesy for him, Dwyane Wade, and one of the integral Heat players ever to play for his system and Erik Spoelstra.
Lebron James has always dealt with critics but the biggest component of his career is. He loves to win and chase championships whether it is with Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love, Wade, Bosh, Luka Doncic, Shane Battier, Anthony Davis, Mike Miller, Rui Hachimura, and my favorite JJ Hickson!
Lebron has a decision to make soon and recently suffered a MCL sprain.

Dolan and NBA Collide
James Dolan has been an outspoken figure in the New York community for well over two decades since the passing of his late father, Charles. He has taken over Madison Square Garden (MSG Networks) and rocked the place with memories which will last that include infuriating, Charles Oakley, standing pat with Isiah Thomas while no one else wanted to. Paying an excessive amount of money for stars such as Carmelo Anthony in particular to stay and become a household name.
He has done so many things besides booing but most of all try to come up with a collective way of business despite his downfalls. His downfalls have been mainly shadowing an overbearing presence and suing many entities. That is not the point.
The point is NBA commissioner Adam Silver is in bit of a triangle and I am not alluding to the one Jordan and Kobe played in. He has had to ruffle feathers mainly with more than one entity and that is challenging with the media rights deals to Amazon, NBC, and NBA TV. Shoes to the dealings of African league culture, WNBA, and G League action.
He has breathed many things to nauseam as James Dolan could stand.
Now we are led to believe the NBA will always be on top in the next 10 years with its new rights. I have got news. James Dolan is wrong/right.
Dolan recently interjected if NBA revenue is kicking in quite fairly with $75 billion revenue and other total subjected gains. How come the league is boosting its budget towards the triangle(s) aforementioned and mainly allowing somewhat its competitor now, WNBA, to succeed two and a half times better than the NBA, and in the process alleviate Dolan of his duties?
That can be frustrating for any big marketed owner of a team such as the New York Knicks as two worlds collide for something possibly better.
