The Philadelphia Sixers are a upcoming team in the NBA. Besides from being my favorite team in the league, there are many reasons why they will be such a successful team in the near future. Here are some:
1) Young Team and a Promising Future
The sixers team have a bunch of young studs that are going to develop and make great NBA players. The average age of the sixers team is 24. This is promising because the number of young players we have now will hopefully convert into long healthy careers.
2)Never Give Up Attitude
Yes, the sixers do not have the best record in the NBA but that does not mean they do not play hard every single game. No matter how unlikely it is to win they will push every team to the limit. They play with their hearts. A little bit of heart and skill makes a good team in any sport.
3) Embiid and Simmons
Ultimately, the heart of 'The Process", Embiid and Simmons are the future all stars of Philadelphia for multiple years to come. Already this year Embiid has proven himself. He is averaging 19.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 2.5 blocks per game. Not to mention that he is averaging these numbers on limited amount of time played, only playing 28 minutes a game. So it is clear, Embiid has proven he is not a bust. Now Philadelphia anxiously waits the return of Ben Simmons.
4) Overall Exciting Team
Before I say anything about the way the sixers play as a team, I encourage anyone who has not been to a game to get to one this season. Games are so much fun even for no-basketball fans. It truly is a great experience every game. Along with the great experience, the sixers are a fun team to watch because of many reasons. One reason is that they are truly learning and working to play as a team. Great teamwork is always fun to watch!
5) One vs All
Philadelphia already has such a great sense of community and this team is truly strengthening the city's unity. The sixers are underdogs. The last 3 years they have won 57 games and lost 191. That is a win percentage of 30 percent. Every team expects an easy win over the sixers, but the sixers do not give up that easily. The sixers team represents Philly because it is always us against the world. So if you do not like Philly or sixers, it does not matter because we don't care. We will continually wait as the best fan base and keep trusting the process. Good things are bound to come for this Philadelphia basketball team.
