I just absolutely love that Sam Hinkie has - on his own volition - labeled himself the official spokesperson for seemingly laughable prognostications coming to fruition. Do you have a team that used time, patience, and hundreds of losses to overcome once miraculous odds to achieve greatness? Well, then you've got a team that proves that Sam Hinkie's mind is but a crystal ball that can predict how current failures can contribute to future improvement. When you really think about it, it's pretty difficult to 'Trust The Process' when the culmination of 'The Process' is dependent on a fragile foot of a seven foot freak and a #1 pick that looks like he fell down the Draft Day stairs, bumped his head, and forgot how to shoot a jump shot. That said, how could you be anything but certain that things will work out in the long run when the person who set the counterproductive rise to the top in motion has countless examples of teams that have sucked their way to success at his disposal? Who cares if he took a circumstantial cross-sport reference and used it to pat himself on the back? With the tanking era in full-swing in almost every sport, someone has to step up to the proverbial plate as its ambassador. Why not have it be the person whose basketball life died for the sins of the talentless scrubs he intentionally put on the floor in hopes of sabotaging sacrificial seasons in the name of Ben Simmons? Congrats to the upstart Astros, but - once the celebratory smoke clears - they will be just another team on the list of examples of why the Sixers are destined to do big things.
