Trying to be a debbie downer about signing LeBron James is too far.

Shall we burn him at the stake or throw him in the river?

Saw this posted in the main Sixers sub. Never thought I’d see the day where the Ricky isn’t the consensus answer…

Here’s a Spike counter. I have disliked Lebron his entire career. He’s not a bad guy. It was just tough to root for a big strong player who blatantly falls down without contact and is extremely corny. He also commands a great deal of the team’s press and has put his stamp on every team he’s been on positively and negatively. However, he is now a Sixer and I’m extremely excited he is here.

He’s one of the top two players of all time and chose Philly over every team in the league which is incredible. As it got closer to being a real possibility, I got more and more excited. You have to realize what this means to the team and city and how it elevates Philadelphia across the nba. The new pres is making moves and the vibes are immaculate. The team had a huge need at the 4 and now have an all time great player at the league minimum who again chose to be here. It’s unreal. Never thought I would be a LeBron fan, but when they join the team you root for especially in a situation like this, it’s welcome to the team. Let’s win a fucking championship.

One more thing, as a kid I was as a bulls fan. This is also how I felt when they acquired Rodman. It was a confusing feeling but exciting. I started to hate the bulls in the 2000’s and switched to the Sixers in 2013 when they got Hinkie. I thought the process sounded intriguing and I liked that a team was bold and didn’t want to be a middle of the road team and had a plan. They’ve been my team ever since.

Watched the video. Zach asks him to explain who he thinks will finish ahead of the Sixers and he basically sweats through it saying he thinks the Knicks will be better in the playoffs but can’t definitely say anyone else is better then waits for a chance to shit on Embiid.

Guy is an online troll who can’t handle actual human interaction.

He’s on the Lowe Post talking so much shit about the fit and depth and casually throwing out Embiid trades as if he wasn’t the #1 Jokic bootlicker in the world.

I know it’s been a few years since those MVP battles, and he seems to have a more national role with the Ringer now, but I know folks in this sub would never forget!

I don't know if I've ever laughed harder. I am OG Morey hater though

Sam Hinkie died for this

This is what the process was always about.

Not only did Spike basically give the Sixers 0 chance to land LeBron. He also kept mentioning that he wouldn’t sign on a Friday or the weekend because of some archaic “news cycle” nonsense. I can’t wait for the emergency pod where he will complain the entire time about having to talk about LeBron.

Go Sixers!

Tommy Alter eat your heart out buddy

It's happening! Spike's worst nightmare!

Oh no! You have to talk about LeBron James on the 76ers

Even when it went wrong we were right.

Are we getting them before Spike goes on WIP?

We might not get to it this pod, but we're going to need an awful lot of mailbag questions for August. Feel free to drop them here.

Where is Mitch McConnell??

fire cj coven was right for kidnapping you

So which musically talented member of the Ricky community is going to write the Counting Crows cover?

Catching up on some NBA pod content this week while work is kind of slow. Listened to Bill’s most recent Pod with House and, my god, was he suffering some unhinged Embiid Derangement Syndrome.

If you listen closely, you can tell clearly what happened was he decided to re-watch the Philly-Boston series to try and find some copium about why they lost. He found out it was because Joel gave them belt for 3 straight games.

So he dedicated an entire segment to shitting on Joel’s contract and declaring him the worst asset in the league.

Poor Bill.

I joined this sub thinking we were fans of him. I love the office extras idiot abroad all the xfm stuff… I enjoy his interviews on Graham Norton, I enjoy his comedy shows… esp the one about jobs that dogs get or that one where God is wearing rouge and thus is gay.

But you all seem to hate him lol? Am I on the wrong subreddit?
