Episode Details

Sixers Beat Writer Adam Aaronson from The Rights to Ricky Sanchez joined the podcast to revisit one of the most insane times in Sixers fandom history, Burnergate! Before this, we touched on the news that the NBA is investigating the Sixers and James Harden for tampering ... which should not be a surprise to anyone! Next we dove head first into Burnergate where we talked about the night that the Ringer story from Ben Detrick first broke, the origins of his "source" for this story and how Adam started digging into the burner accounts himself. We also discussed his disdain for his own players in the tweets including former number one overall pick Markelle Fultz and Sixers MVP candidate Joel Embiid and some of the most insane tweets that Adam found while searching through the Twitter accounts. Including one tweet that blew my mind. Finally we discussed an alternative universe in which Colangelo is never first and how that could have effected the Sixers 2018 and 2019 moves and changed the trajectory of the franchise. Enjoy!
