Last night was an exciting night for Philly and Sixers fans worldwide! This is what we have been waiting for the past few painful, painful, painful seasons. I honestly can’t even believe that we are finally at the crossroad. There are going to be fans no matter what that want to debate why we suck and try to ice bucket challenge all of our hopes… They can GTFO!
Today is a day to enjoy our team, our future, and laugh at all of the pain we had to go through to get here.

My son just asked me to go online and buy him a Ben Simmons/76ers jersey. This entire draft has hurt my feelings.

You think Philly fans were hyped for Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot? Wait until they see his girlfriend… pic.twitter.com/3z8qXlZuu9

Timothe Luwawu sounds a lot like @Wawa, so that's good.
