Summary
In the best of times Ben Simmons and the 76ers were still disappointing. Now, Ben is maybe the most polarizing figure in NBA history. The most hated 76er in Philly history and it can actually get worse! Trysta covers that story, Lowry already making things work in Miami, the 75th anniversary team and much more in this episode of the Heat Check.
