The Eagles are embarrassing themselves this year so we need our new squad to ball out and go the distance. I believe in LeGOAT to get the job done.
I got the VJ Edgecombe jersey for free from the Sixers social media team when I went down to the outphitters team store at Xfinity Mobile Arena today, and that was the last jersey I needed. I had a few sherseys for VJ but not a jersey some I’m so happy they gave me a jersey I needed for free. Now I have all of the starting 5!
I feel like for most people, including me, it’s the latter. I personally believe that our red jerseys look beautiful, as I love the script Declaration of Independence Phila font on the jersey. However I am superstitious so I prefer the Sixers to wear any other jersey color, specifically in the playoffs because of the unfortunate results we’ve had in the red uniforms. Hopefully LeBron will bring some luck to the red jerseys this year because I do think they look nice.
This is an update on a post I made last week on fanatics sending me a 2020-21 style jersey with LeBron’s name on it with the older outline instead of the current drop shadow. Once I found out that Dicks got LeBron jerseys in stock, I raced down to get one and I couldn’t be happier!!!
I prefer the way the NBA does it where the top teams in each conference make the playoffs because it reduces the chance that shitty teams make the playoffs because their division was terrible and have home court/field advantage over better teams. Just look at the American League West and Central in MLB this year. The White Sox should not get a bye over the Yankees because they play in a shitty division and the Astros shouldn't have a home playoff series with a .500 record.

They always have to stay professional and refrain from using fowl language on-air so when they appear on other shows/podcasts and start acting a little edgier and cursing, it catches me by surprise. There are some hosts (like Stephen A. Smith), where you can tell that they curse off camera just by there cadence and personality, but there are many (mainly the hosts/anchor people) that you can’t tell are users of fowl language.

I remember the first time I heard Kaitlin Collins swear on podcast I was surprised because she doesn’t show a whole lot of personality on the air in a way that makes me think she’s one to curse.
They delivered mine in the mail today but I’m returning it because the jersey doesn’t have the up to date drop shadow behind the letters and numbers that the Sixers added in 2023. I don’t understand why tf the nba store sent me the out of date version. I ordered the current version of the jersey not the custom 2020/21 version. The picture of the jersey I ordered online shows the current version with the thicker drop shadows. Seems like a minor gripe but I want my jerseys accurate. LeBron is never going to wear the older version of the jersey.
Do you like the change? I personally like both the new and old themes so I’m fine with either one as the theme but I’m surprised the new theme wasn’t just a one off for the Super Bowl.
Almost every year the answer is easily the Eagles. But with LeBron coming to Philly, for the first time in a long long time (maybe ever) the Sixers winning this year is a higher priority for me than the Eagles. Obviously we all want both to win but if I had to pick one, I want the Sixers to win more this year since they haven’t won a championship since 1983 (never in my life time since I was born in 05) and also LeBron is my favorite athlete so I would love for him to win a fifth championship on my favorite basketball team.
I wouldn’t wear an arm sleeve but I would follow the current trend of wearing a leg sleeve on one leg, probably my left leg since when I’ve tested out leg sleeves it’s is way too restrictive on my right leg.
Judging off of when other star players like Kobe and Duncan retired, I thought he would play until around 2023, so the 2022-23 season which was his age 38 season and 20th year in the NBA. I definitely didn’t think he would play over a decade more in the league at the time.
I’m seeing some “analysts” predicting that the Sixers will win 50-51 games next year which to me is absolutely absurd. You’re telling me with the amount of talent on this team, including LeBron James, we’re just gonna win 5-6 more games than last season!? I think this team wins at least 55 games, I predict they’ll go 57-25. They’re going to pace themselves a bit resting Bron and especially Embiid, which they should, so I don’t think they’ll win like 66 games, but they’re too talented to not win at least 54-55 games. What record do y’all think the Sixers will have next season?
We were clearly the better basketball option and LA never appreciated him and are stupidly celebrating him for being gone. LA was clearly for lifestyle and entertainment/media opportunities. He could've won multiple championships and been way more appreciated if he signed with Philly instead of LA, although we probably would not have gotten Maxey (Ben Simmons might not have gone down the toilet either if LeBron was there to mentor and motivate him). Not saying his Laker tenure wasn't successful, but a long tenure in Philly could've been even better.
I don’t understand why in the NBA you can only wear throwbacks for 1 season whereas in the NFL you can keep throwbacks permanently in your jersey lineup. It would be a travesty to not see LeBron and Jaylen Brown in the black uniforms. The NBA would be fumbling a great opportunity to generate more money from jersey sales because everyone will buy a black LeBron jersey.
All along I’ve been thinking that he’s probably going to Cleveland, but over the last few days with the leaks and with the fact that if he wanted a really just homecoming he would’ve signed in Cleveland a while ago, I think he’s going to Miami. Pat Riley is going to land his second plane. early-mid 2010s nostalgia will be felt to an even greater degree than it already is.
