The Ultimate List of 100 Candidates Who Deserve to Ring the Sixers Bell
If you weren’t in the building for the Sixers’ game one playoff win, you missed a great bell ringing. Dikembe Mutombo went up there, hit that bell with the hammer, and the crowd went absolutely wild for the start of postseason basketball.
Over the years, we’ve gone through dozens and dozens of bell ringers. Meek Mill has done it. Lil’ Dicky. M Night Shyamalan. We’ve even had Freddie Mitchell and Kevin Negandhi up there. Talk about variety.
We know that Pat Croce is confirmed as the Sixers/Wizards game two bell ringer, but who is next on the list? The Sixers need to go above and beyond to get the fans even more pumped up for these games, so we decided to exercise our collective Crossing Broad brain power, with your help, in order to compile The Ultimate List of 100 Candidates Who Deserve to Ring the Sixers Bell.
