how nice will it be as a Philly fan to just have a player that has no flaws in his game, no issues with maturity, no massive health problems, etc... Horford is as solid as they come.
And his defense on Giannis in the playoffs alone makes him such an intriguing piece for you guys...
Will be betting on the 76ers to win the Ship this year for certain
to the bold:
I only wished that the knicks had hinkie 7 years ago...I was lurking through on other business
and I came across what seemed to be blatant disrespect and slander to hinkies name...The foundation of where
the 6ers are now is because of hinkie....
Im a hinkie disciple and was one of his biggest advocates in the entire world. actually spent more time following the 76ers than the hornets during that period since it was more fun. it was still a wild experiment and a defining part of the 76ers legacy. And Horforf is the exact opposoite of that. He's more like hte final piece. The epitome of balance and the exact opposite of what the 76ers have been through for the last ~6-7 seasons while putting up with nutbars like okafor, fultz,noel, etc...wildly talented but incomplete players like simmons, injury prone generational talents like embiid...
I mean its easy ot forget this now but there were guys here defending MCW and okafor to the death... look it up
no one knows how hinkie would have finished the cake...therefore, we cant say if he would have added Horford to this team...
and since you say you were a hinkie disciple...how could you make reference to him as "a crazy experiment". He was a GM who
took GMing to another level...and now the guy is not here and everyone is benefiting off the foundation that he courageously built...so is life...
