"We hit 'em like the EL at 60th and Market..."
Black Thought - Adrenaline
The Philadelphia 76ers have been playing well all season. In fact they are leading the Atlantic Division with a 18-8 record, however when it comes to national recognition, things seems to fall apart.
The Return
On Thursday night the NBA announced the All-Star reserve rosters for the east and western conference teams. February 9, 2012 is a date that should remain as a point of reference in the minds of the Sixers faithful...as Andre Iguodala was named to his first All-Star team, which will be played later this month in Orlando.
I wanted to get his take on making the mid-season classic, so I sent out 2-text messages and a tweet to congratulate him on his recent accomplishment. He replied via text saying, "It hasn't even hit me yet..I'm thinking about the Clippers tomorrow!"
His response is a microcosm of what the Sixers are all about, with their all business, team first approach to every practice and game...and that's the difference between them and a lot of other teams around the league.
Things are changing for the better, as the 76ers continue to make believers out of people.

This is big news for the city. I'm very proud of Dre. Very very happy for him and his family because as you know brotha, this is a long time coming. He's stuck by as everything swirled around him. Coaching changes, roster turnover, role modifications...and he's still here. Good for him!
I couldn't agree with you more Mike! Thanks for stopping by!
