Certainly one of the best stretches of Sixers basketball I’ve ever witnessed… Markelle Fultz became the youngest player (back in 2018) to record a triple-double while the Sixers finished their season with 16 straight wins. Welcome back, Kelle.

For those who don’t remember: We demolished Giannis and the Bucks by 35 points. It was a fun time indeed.
“Philly being a grimy city and the way they love their sports teams are kind of different,” Fultz said. “They give tough love sometimes. My time and experience there was very dope, especially with the city. I felt like they gave me a lot of love. Just living there for a little bit, being able to embrace the culture they have there is pretty dope. It was a positive thing. Everything happens for a reason, I’m a firm believer in that. I’m very thankful for everything that Philly’s done for me.”

Hoping he gets a good cheer. Media kept trying to get him to shit on Philly and he always backed us up. Good to see him succeeding, even if it wasn’t here.
The revisionist history about him is weird. I’m not going to boo but I’m sure as hell not giving him some major applause or standing ovation.
First overall bust.
Said this in the thread the other day, but I really believe Fultz is a better player than Simmons at this point in time.
If you would have tried telling me that 3 years ago.. sheesh.
That was a fun game iirc
Was electric in the building that night!
