Daryl Morey Dunks on Howard Eskin at Introductory Press Conference
Published:
The King, Howard Eskin.
He must be feeling better after recovering from COVID-19, because he was on the Daryl Morey conference call today asserting that Joel Embiid is fat and out of shape and that Ben Simmons won’t shoot a 15-foot jumper. Nature is healing, as they say.
As a preface to the question, Howard mentioned that Morey has to say “all the right things” during his introductory press conference, which set up this quip from the Sixers’ new President of Basketball Operations:
Great exchange. It would go on my Mount Rushmore of best Philly sports media moments, right up there with the time that Les Bowen punched Jeff McLane in the face, or when Howard asked Gabe Kapler about coconut oil masturbation at his introductory press conference a few years back.
