After a season in which they fell short, the Sixers must find a formula to put aside their quick departure from the postseason, and all indicates that an all-out party may be the start to the solution.
Among the many parties held on July 4th to celebrate Independence Day in the United States, there is one organized by businessman Michael Rubin, which year after year brings together the most prestigious celebrities in the world, including athletes.
This time it was the turn of several big names on Philadelphia’s roster, including Joel Embiid, James Harden, Tyrese Maxey, and Sixers newcomer, veteran P.J. Tucker.
All of them were recorded dancing and enjoying to the fullest, as great teammates and life partners, the music of American rapper Meek Mill, who was, among others, in charge of animating the party held in the exclusive area of The Hamptons, in Long Island, New York.
In addition to each one of them being dressed in white–which is an indispensable requirement at Michael Rubin’s parties–, the Sixers quartet surely wanted to send a sign of fraternity and unity to all those fans who are concerned about the lack of connection that took place last season between Embiid and Harden.
Looking at these images, many will be imagining great chemistry next season for the 76ers, as well as a similar celebration if they reach the NBA championship ring.
Sixers Boost With Arrival of P.J. Tucker
We have already seen how the arrival of an experienced player like P.J. Tucker can revolutionize a team like the Sixers.
The player was coveted by half the league after being declared a free agent, and Philadelphia was able to acquire his services. Thus, the Sixers gained not only an excellent defender and a good three-point shooter, but also a figure who is used to being on winning teams in recent years.
Tucker has six consecutive seasons attending the NBA playoffs and was a champion with the Milwaukee Bucks two years ago. That postseason background, as well as his performance of high quality, is surely what excites the organization and the players that make it up.
So they are already partying, there is already chemistry, they already feel they can have a great season and have a good night after a moment of relaxation and joy during the preseason vacation.
