In a move right out of the Hollywood playbook, the Sixers are sending media members who vote for the All-Star Game a “For Your Consideration” package including Shirley Temple ingredients:

The Sixers organization has actually turned what was supposed to be a damning, embarrassing story about Joel Embiid’s addiction to sugary drinks into a media blitz about JoJo’s mission to get a date from (maybe) Rihanna. I’m surprise it also didn’t come with a CD copy of “Anti”. I don’t know whose idea this was, but they better be getting some kind of raise or at least all of the leftover soda.
When he's not writing about sports here or ranting about them on Twitter, Jim is probably watching X-Files on Netflix or drinking a beer somewhere. Jim has nothing against hockey, it's just not his style. He once met Duce Staley at a Sixers game.
