2020-2021 Philadelphia 76ers: A Season In Review

Image
    Not sure what this title means. Who are the Philadelphia 76ers? Sounds like it would be a professional basketball team based in Philadelphia. Maybe a WNBA team? Can't be the NBA because for some odd reason there isn't one there yet.     Jokes aside, this season has come to a close. Prior to the 2020 draft, the Sixers looked poised for another mediocre year at best. The Sixers finished 6th in the East after a great start to the year, Al Horford was being paid $25 million to be a shell of what he was in Boston (which can be attributed to him being a bad fit next to Embiid), Josh Richardson was not what we were promised would be given to us in return for Jimmy heading to Miami, Embiid was struggling with the new roster, and Tobias at the small forward position was just not the way to go. Brett Brown would sometimes try bringing Horford off the bench, but that still wouldn't work. This year brought many changes for the team, and they certainly changed up a lot. Let's ta

Did LeMickey and ADisney Really Win A Mickey Mouse Ring? Looking Back At The NBA Bubble

      Calling things "Mickey Mouse" has become my favorite thing to do. Something went wrong? Doesn't count because it was Mickey Mouse. The saying would not have become a thing if it weren't for the NBA bubble during the summer of 2020. After the NBA was shutdown due to Rudy Gobert (AKA Baguette Biyombo) being a dummy and the spread of COVID, Adam Silver decided to throw the teams that still had a chance at getting into the playoffs (22 teams) into Disney World. The representative for the world (right) makes first contact with an alien (left) (2020, Colorized) Did the arena, with no home court advantage due to no fans, really make that much of a difference? Is "Bubble Fraud" a legitimate title for some players and teams? Let's look into the background, stats, supposed "bubble frauds", aftermath, etc. and truly see if the Mickey Mouse saying is true. The Bubble Itself/Background     Baguette Biyombo decided to be an absolute loser and joke abou

Lil Uzi Vert: Post Eternal Atake

  Well... it finally happened. The man finally dropped his long awaited sophomore album Eternal Atake. Although it was met with generally mixed reviews, I think I might like it the most of his discography thus far. Baby Pluto, Silly Watch, Celebration Station, Bigger Than Life, Chrome Heart Tags, Bust Me, Prices, Venetia, and That Way are some of his best songs he has ever released. I'll always remember where I was when the album dropped the morning of Friday March 6th 2020: I was playing Call of Duty while my phone charged behind me. After the game ended, I went to check what percent it was at. There was a Twitter notification. OH MY GOD ETERNAL ATAKE JUST DROPPED. In a panic, I threw on my headphones and pressed play on Baby Pluto. Listening to that intro for the first time may go down as the greatest music experience I'll ever have when it's all said and done. I called my friend, but I could barely get any words out. "It's out" I said. He understood. It was
