If the Philadephia 76ers are tanking for Andrew Wiggins, Juluis Randle or Jabari Parker, they are doing an awful job of it. When everybody in the league assumed that they were going to challenge the league’s all-time worst record in an effort to rebuild around one of those potential stars in next year’s draft, we get a swerve in form of Michael Carter-Williams of James Anderson, Tony Wroten and the rest of the 76ers playing like they belong. And their kick game is pretty dope as well.
When Nick Young left Philly (or got kicked out, either way works really) we feared that we wouldn’t have much reason to check out the Sixers other than to look up what Penny 5s Thaddeus Young was wearing, but Anderson and Wroten have done a great job of replacing Swaggy P by rocking adidas and Jordan heat. Last night was like the culmination of that, with Anderson scoring 36 points in the adidas Crazy 8 while Wroten f****d around and got a triple double in the Air Jordan 11 “Silver Anniversary”. It was a good day.
Sorry, had to do it….
Check out the rest of the night in kicks including Kevin Durant debuting a new KD 6 colorway, Rudy Gay returning to Memphis in an Air Jordan 5, Eric Bledsoe being great in the Nike Kobe 8 “Pit Viper” and more.
