It’s the 10th Anniversary of One of the Worst Philly Sports Tweets Ever

Shout out to Redditor u/Zipp-Storm for this pull:
10 year anniversary of three Philadelphia legends getting logether
by u/Zipp-Storm in eagles
Three Philadelphia legends indeed.
Jahlil Okafor played 105 games here and then was unceremoniously shipped to Brooklyn with Nik Stauskas and a 2nd round draft pick. The Sixers got Trevor Booker in return, who was waived two months later.
Simmons, the “young buck,” went on to become a 3x All-Star and 2x All-Defensive First Team player. Then he passed the ball to Matisse Thybulle instead of dunking it, the Sixers choked against the Hawks, and Ben forced his way out. Now he’s fishing and probably playing video games.
Wentz, well, you know the story. Carson helped the Eagles to their first Super Bowl ever, but was denied a surefire MVP because of the injury. He’s now with the Vikings at age 33.
The one thing about this tweet is that it could have been even better if it was sent in 2017. Then Nolan Patrick could have joined the crew. Mickey Moniak would drive the Uber to the cheesesteak place.
