This is pretty cool. The Sixers have recreated the 1982 Sports Illustrated cover featuring Moses Malone to highlight their newest acquisition Jimmy Butler. Sixers President Chris Heck put out these tweets on Friday, featuring Butler in place of Malone:

Of course, the most noticeable change made other than Butler’s likeness, is that of the hat worn on the right. In place of “Tour ’82” is the emblazoning of “TTP ’18”.
Sixers fans have to hope Butler’s path aligns with that of his predecessor: Malone was acquired prior to the 1982-83 season and won the NBA title with the Sixers that same year. Will Butler lead this Sixers squad to the NBA title? That remains to be seen, but I agree with Heck. This is #OnBrand.

This is so cuz’s wheelhouse
I like it better when Russ doesn’t have a snow day and has to go to work. Too much trivial drivel, too much worthless content.
“Look, someone said something on Twitter!! Let me summarize in a post!!”
Can’t wait for Philip’s soccer picks !!! Or another Wings post!! When the next live podcast event from that place that got cited for food violations ??
Kyle views him as cheap labor, and this is a fun mid-life “get away from the wife and kids” thing for him, but he’s just not interesting.
Also, great copyediting: “the 1982 Sports Illustrated cover featuring Mose Malone”
I have a cousin named Mose.
Jimmy Buckets o/u point total 18.5 -122. That’s easy money to to made on the over.
Haha look at the tricked out brother on the left, omg that’s classic, Haha.
That Moses picture could really use the cuz in the background wearing his Sixers starter jacket and some Adidas sweatpants
And his playboy hat.
Now that Kate McClure and Mark D’Amico have split, does anyone know if she is on Tinder yet?
In all seriousness, what a shitty story that turned out to be. True scumbags at their worst. I feel bad now for the people with honest hardships because it’s bullshit like this that makes me people skeptical to donate to causes.
Next comes Jimmy’s scrimmage rant, with him wearing an Astros hat.
