PHOTOS: Meek Mill's crazy 1st night of freedom as Sixers eliminate Miami Heat

The Meek shall inherit the ... Wells Fargo Center.

Rapper Meek Mill, released from prison just hours earlier, was a celebrated guest as the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Miami Heat in Game 5 to win their NBA Eastern Conference playoff series at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday night.

Mill, released from a state prison in Chester, Pa., around 6:30 p.m., hustled by helicopter to the game and cheered on his hometown team, which advanced to the second round of the playoffs.

Mill, who has been a cause celebre for Philly athletes, including the Super Bowl champion Eagles, had been imprisoned since November when he was incarcerated on a probation violation.
