Who Farted on the Sixers Bench?

Growing up on the Montgomery County/Berks County border, we had two different ways to identify flatulence:

1. Whoever denied it, supplied it
2. Whoever smelt it, dealt it

Those are important 90s-era principles, and perhaps we can apply them to this video from the Sixers’ bench last night, when somebody farted:

I’d probably rule out James Ennis, because you can see Zhaire Smith start to react before Ennis comes over to the bench.

If we’re going by rule #2, “whoever smelt it dealt it,” I’d view Smith, Jonathon Simmons, and Joel Embiid as possibly liable. That leaves Amir Johnson on the end of the bench, who is not reacting. He could be a candidate for rule #1, “whoever denied it supplied it,” seeing as he shakes his head after Embiid looks to ask him a question.

So those are the four main candidates – Smith, Simmons, Embiid, and Johnson. It could, of course, be any of the unnamed four people sitting behind the bench.

A twitter sleuth added this:

JJ Redick is a new suspect in the Sixers fart gate…look at him at the left at 5:50 bent over in front of the bench…10 seconds later when he goes to check in the bench smells the fart. pic.twitter.com/BX35GCAMlp

Redick could be the responsible party. When you move around a bit, sometimes that can get the body going, get the digestive track working and clear out some gas as a result.

So you tell me, who farted?
