Jim Lynam took two steps at a time going up Section 110 of the Wells Fargo Center. The clock was ticking, and if you're a basketball guy, you respect the clock. Lynam was due on the air at Comcast SportsNet but he wanted to talk to a New York Knicks assistant coach, and then get in and see the Knicks head coach.
Lynam knew when to fast-time it back up to the studio connected to the arena, greeting security guards on the stairs, using a key card to get into SportsNet's office from the concourse - checking the door behind to make sure it locked - changing out of his purple sweater into a pressed white shirt, next stop the set for the Sixers pregame show.
