No I'm actually just happy Philly sucked because of all the crap I received from numerous people when I said it wouldn't work or said my opinion on teams tanking. Then when I called out the hypocrisy of people I knew or had seen on social media complaining about others tanking but had every excuse in the book for the 76ers I guess they didn't like being called out too much. Then the blatant we're getting Wiggins/Simmons and then getting Lebron or Insert other big name/s here and winning a title in 5-6 yrs. All while I said I had my doubts or reported stuff I had heard that eventually became true (btw) I was called jealous, a hater, upset at competition etc. All I was ever asking for is an apology hey we were wrong to call you those things but no one wants to eat the crow. It's all fun and games when things are going well but theres no need to be upset with someone who basically from the start said this what was gonna happen. Sorry if people had their doubts who called out blatant tanking on the team but such is life.
My biggest issue wasn't the tanking itself as much as it was the fans who would complain constantly of others doing it, but long comes Sam Hinkie and their beloved 76ers start doing it every excuse in the book comes out. It just makes you look childish. And then the blatant cockiness of it all from the fans. This coming from probably the biggest bandwagon fanbase in the entire city. Up until Hinkie got here I saw more people with Lebron jerseys, Curry, insert superstar of recent won NBA title team, Kobe Jersey's etc. Rarely I'd see a Sixers jersey currently from someone on the team or 76ers gear overall. Occasional AI jersey a Julius Erving at times. Then they start out with some success and I see everyone and their mother acting like they are diehard fans. From 06-2017 only two seasons were the Sixers not in the bottom 10 of attendance and that was before Sam Hinkie those 2 seasons. in 2018 they sky rocketed to 3rd. BTW during that span just so you can't throw it out there but guess who has consistently been top 3? Yep you guessed it Chi. Even going back in ESPN's attendance by team per year standings that goes back to 2001 only once were the bulls not Top 5 but never fell below 9. My point is people here do not care about the 76ers enough. But everyone and their mother becomes a fan when they are good and act like they are a long term fan. Its like living with Dallas fans in PA without the fact the team can't use the we got rings argument.
