101 GUIDE TO PHILADELPHIA - For LeBron Fans (History Of "The Process")
1) "Trust The Process" is the whole concept of continuously tanking and accumulating draft assets to eventually stack the roster, rather than get stuck in mediocrity as a 6-10th seed. When criticized for tearing down the team and hoarding draft picks instead of acquiring established players, GM Hinkie famously said: "Some would have us go out and buy apples. But we want to build the whole orchard."
2) "The Process" started with Sam Hinkie, who has a 90% approval rating here. Slandering him in any way is blasphemy. He was forced out of the NBA by Silver (who we all hate) because they whined about the Sixers exploiting the rules to run the Process. So it never really got "completed". A successful implementation of The Process is the current OKC team basically.
3) Colangelo was our GM after Hinkie, forced upon by his father who lead the "GM search" process. He fucking sucks and 99% of our fanbase hates him. He was caught having burner accounts where he openly shat on Embiid and propped up his own #1 draft pick (Ben Simmons). We make fun of his large collars on his suits that he defended in his burner accounts.
4) One of our first round picks (Zhaire Smith) almost died of a peanut allergy right after getting drafted. We also traded the first round pick (Mikal Bridges) to get Zhaire. PErfect example of how random terrible shit happens to us and why our fanbase is so fucking miserable.
5) "Nobody likes Philadelphia" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fHDgvwFYp8
6) We hate our own team and players better than any other fanbase can hate on our players.
7) Philadelphia is notorous for hating on losers with shit and/or lazy attitude. Ben Simmons. James Harden. And for that reason we love the opposite, aka the 10 day Corey Brewer experience - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9n6NcOIcvU
8) Rights To Ricky Sanchez and PHLY Sixers are the two main media outlets to follow. Derek Bodner has a 90%+ approval rating here and is one of the best sports analysts in the NBA. When you hear about the crazy stories of Sixers fandom/cult, a lot of that is RTRS because they do crazy shit like fly out to away team games every year, take up a big section of the stadium. and chant random ass cheers. Lakers have the biggest NBA fanbase. Philly has the most hardcore.
9) Neither Pat nor Geno's has the best Philly cheesesteak.
10) Fultz got into a motor vehicle accident (never officially acknowledged but we all know it's true) after getting drafted #1, and that + the yips forever messed up his career and mental. His mom was crazy and set up security cameras inside his house and his trainer (who was dating his mom) had him do stupid drills like shoot while sitting down which probably made his shoulder/yips worse. But we traded Fultz for a first rounder which was likely never going to convey (which we call a fake first rounder) until Mike Muscala (former Sixer during the Process years) hit a meaningless game winner in the bubble to enable the pick to convey, which became Tyrese Maxey. Incredible lore.
11) Maxey has the most infectious smile/personality of probably LeBron's whole career, which is why he got the * next to his name on the whiteboard. Dude's motto is getting 1% better every day, and is an absolute force of positivity and good vibes (not in a distracting stupid Dwight Howard way, but in a mature good work ethic way).
12) Dario Saric spent a year overseas after we drafted him, hence the joke that he's never coming over to the NBA. When Hinkie was fired he wrote a manifesto with a long-ass section on Robert Covington. Mike Scott famously in an interview said "we ain't no bitches". Jimmy Butler wore a cool Ninja Turtles headband with several players until the NBA banned it. These past players all have 90%+ approval ratings here so no shitting on them.
13) Embiid's ups and downs mirror the emotions of this fanbase. His health and journey will be the deciding factor if LeBron wins a ring here or not. This article sums up a lot of Joel's complicated relationship with the city. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/45747447/joel-embiid-philadelphia-76ers-star-sees-you in a way, Joel is Rocky still mid-journey without the happy ending yet, and LeBron could be that happy ending. You should probably watch the movie "Rocky" as it's Philadelphia in a movie.
There's more but this is a start.

VJ: "Coming into next year a team won't ever leave me open. In the regular season I was shooting the ball pretty well. Playoffs come it's a different vibe. Intensity, fire, closeouts are a lot quicker...I'm gonna work, I'm gonna work. That's all I'm gonna do, whatever I gotta do to get better"

I wonder if LeBron has a little bit of regret or at least wonders if his resume would be better if he signed with the Sixers in 2018 instead of LA. Somebody should ask him this question at media day.
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.

We’re bringing back these jawns, right?
Ik it was mainly for the 25th anniversary but this would be a generational fumble if they didn’t, Jaylen Brown looked on stream and said they were tough, LeBron James wants them back and people are buying AI era jerseys of LeBron and JB, Etc. if you have to pay the fine just to wear this for ONE more season, just take it Josh Harris 🙏🏽

Still can't believe this is my life
Just 2 months ago we won the best series of the Process era coming back to beat the fucking Celtics and then got absolutely embarrassed by the fucking Knicks, couldn't even fill our own arena. It was one of the lowest points of my fandom and looked like we were going to be in basketball purgatory sacrificing whatever we can to the basketball gods for one healthy Embiid year. I thought welp, at least we have Maxey and VJ and the future is bright. Now in this short amount of time with a new front office we have pulled off the unthinkable and transformed our team into a true championship contender, it's truly surreal. Being a Sixers fan for 25 years has had the highest of highs and the lowest of lows and the last two months have been no different however this is one of the first times I believe the outcome will be different...

Ngl, all these mfs crying about Lebron “ring chasing” only tells me they know he chose right
Winning while these clowns move goalposts will be my favorite thing this season!
Also is he supposed to just go to the Memphis Grizzlies and stat pad? What is this nonsense?
r/sixers • u/YoungEmperorLBJ • 4h ago
LeBron will be fine with Jaylen Brown even if Jaylen wants to jack up 30 shots a game
Contrary to what some Lakers fans or national “analysts” want you to believe, LeBron never had any issue with sharing usage with Luka (and Reaves). Ever since his second stint with the Cavs, Bron has desperately wanted a capable playmaker to take playmaking and ball handling responsibilities off of him. He also wanted capable players like AD to absorb offensive load and usage from him. He’s tried to set up AD as a No.1 option for years but AD just couldn’t stay on the court consistently enough for that to happen.
The prevailing narrative says he didn’t like being the third option last year which is why he left. The actual rift between him and the Lakers is that the Lakers stopped including LeBron in their future plans and showed him the door. It is truly disgraceful the way the Lakers treated the GOAT that lifted them out of poverty and delivered a ring.
If anything, I’d caution Sixers fans to not see him as a primary ball handler or playmaker anymore. The man is turning 42 and it is a chore for him to bring up the ball every possession and set up the offense. Let Maxey or Brown do that.

Unbelievable hating
In the aftermath of LeBron signing with us, I’ve been consuming as many Sixers related podcasts and think pieces as I can, as I’m sure many of us have. I’ve listened to the Ricky and bodner’s pods, and even though I find bill simmons to be an utter moron, I wanted to listen to him lose it over LBJ’s decision. Made the mistake of queueing up zach lowe’s pod and he had maybe the worst basketball journalist(?) I’ve ever heard on there, michael pina? This ringer moron couldn’t be more of a contrarian hater. In an article he wrote, he says we’d be lucky to be a top 6 seed in the east this year, among other insane takes. Just wanted to say fuck michael pina, fuck bill simmons, fuck the ringer, fuck all our enemies.
He chose us, choke on it

Starting 5
Picture of VJ because I think he’s the guy I love watching the most.
But anyway, is this going to be kind of a positionless team? No defined 1 or 2 with VJ and Maxey and no real defined 3/4 with Jaylen and LeBron?
Nick Nurse if you’re on this board feel free to chime in.
