Thank God The 76ers Hired A GM That Doesn't Know Anything About Stats

Jayson Williams Is Sober, Gunless, Brutally Honest, And Determined Not To Go Back To Prison

KG: "Philly Fans Are Fair-Weather." <i>Inquirer</i> Writer: "Oh Yeah? Boston's Racist!"
A few days back, Kevin Garnett said — or at least implied — that 76ers fans are fair-weather. It stung a bit, considering the Sixers have been terrible for the better part of a decade, and basketball is a distant fourth in Philly hearts. (That's not a knock; some sport has to be fourth.) Mostly it w...

The Philadelphia 76ers began the season 20-9, but they're now hovering near .500 and clinging to the eighth and final spot in the Eastern Conference. Adam Aron, the team's ever-engaging CEO, is apparently open to any and all suggestions from his nearly 15,000 Twitter followers. It's doubtful Joe fro...
Courtside Sixers Fan (Possibly) Yells Racist Slur At Jeremy Lin
As the Knicks were closing out their 82-79 win over the Sixers in Philadelphia tonight, Jeremy Lin headed over in the direction of the scorer's table and a courtside Sixers fan yelled ... something in his direction. Initial conclusions seem to point to "hey, chink". I can't make heads or tails of ...

76ers guard Lou Williams made a few people laugh with his heartwarming tale of nearly being robbed at gunpoint on a Philly street on Christmas Eve, only to be saved because the thief recognized him, after which Williams treated the man to some food at McDonald's.
