Summary

Plus, Philadelphia Inquirer Sixers beat writer Keith Pompey swings by to discuss James Harden’s public criticism of team president Daryl Morey, how the Harden situation might impact Joel Embiid moving forward, how he expects this whole ordeal to end and much more!

| 0:53.5 | So in the movie, of course, he gets adopted by the Sean and Leanne Tuey, and he's made to believe like they're almost his savior that he's this bumbling, stumbling kid, doesn't really like football, is very soft-spoken, very soft period. And they whipped them in the shape. And they whipped him in the shape, and he became an all pro. They saved him. They saved him. Exactly.
