Outside of the Mikal Bridges debacle - I mean they drafted the right player, they just didn’t keep him! - the Sixers have come away with tremendous value in recent drafts. Paul Hudrick: I’m thankful for good drafts. We’ll all be even more thankful if Joel has no lingering effects from the illness and he and Maxey 2.0 can form the most dominant tag team in the Eastern Conference. He is the rare superstar talented enough to finish second in the MVP voting, fun-loving enough to dress up as the Phantom of the Process or do a wrestling-style intro with Triple H, and veracious enough to say he’s “not here to babysit”. Without Embiid, the past couple weeks have felt like we were just treading water until the season could resume. His absence due to COVID was a depressing collaboration between real world and Sixers problems. As much fun as Tyrese Maxey’s rising stardom has been to behold, Sixers basketball doesn’t feel the same without the big man in the middle. Sean Kennedy: I’m thankful that Joel Embiid is expected back on Saturday.
#Fantasy grounds ultimate share with friends free
A handful of us at the site expressed our Sixers gratitude below, and feel free to chime in with what you’re thankful for in the comments. While there are plenty of real life things to give thanks for as we gather around the dinner table, this is the forum to give thanks for things in the world of the Philadelphia 76ers. Happy Thanksgiving, Liberty Ballers readers! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday spent with friends and family.
