This isn’t an election allegory and isn’t political at all, although I couldn’t resist the snappy headline since that stuff is top of mind right now.
This is about how the former Sixer, and newly minted (for the second time) Detroit Piston, Tobias Harris, arguably one of the most objectively likable players in the entire NBA, and maybe even in NBA history, simply lost his way with the fans in Philadelphia. And spoiler alert: little of it was his own fault and no, it’s not a reflection of how harsh Philly fans can be. This was all an organizational blunder of epic proportions.
