Here is what Harris had to say:
“Jerry Colangelo is one of the most respected people in basketball and we are excited to add his five decades of knowledge, relationships and experience to help drive our organization forward.”
Here is what Jerry Colangelo had to say:
“I am excited and energized about the opportunity to work with Josh Harris and this ownership group in their continued efforts to build something lasting and special here with the Sixers. This is an organization with a storied history, strong and talented leadership and a number of promising pieces that have the potential for a very bright future.”
“It’s not every day you have the opportunity to work alongside a Hall of Famer with Jerry’s unique set of experiences. I feel incredibly fortunate to have him as part of our organization.”
I’m excited about this move and think it will be a positive for the organization moving forward!
