A lot of Eagles content gets published each day, so here’s a recap of your Eagles news from this past week.
This is the worst time of year for an Eagles reporter, that six-week gap between the end of mandatory mini camps and training camp is brutal.
So no, there really wasn’t that much news this week, which was cool because all of the attention was focused on the Philadelphia 76ers and Ben Simmons. I really should’ve called this post Catching up with the Sixers because Simmons obviously dominated the Philly Influencer content this week.
You’ve got to love the NBA Lottery and Draft, the one time of year the Sixers are relevant. But this feels different because just like Carson Wentz, Simmons is another one of Philadelphia’s bright and shiny new toys. Maybe Sixers fans will tune in throughout the upcoming season instead of tuning out after the first couple of games.
I can’t wait for him to snatch defensive rebounds, gracefully glide down the floor like a thoroughbred and either finish the fastbreak himself or find a teammate to do it. I can’t wait for him to get in the post and hit the open man with one of his signature one-touch passes. I can’t wait for him to develop a consistent jumper so he can become nearly impossible to guard. It’s going to be a special next couple of years for Sixers fans.
Welcome to Philly, Ben.
