About an hour before the 76ers tipped off against the Golden State Warriors, Sixers television play-by-play man Marc Zumoff took a look at Sixers statistical ace Ron Pollack passing by above the Wells Fargo Center court.
“Like the jacket,” Zumoff said.
“It’s probably been washed three times,” Pollack told Zumoff.
Since 1954 or ’55, Pollack meant, since that’s when this warmup jacket saw the court, he said, worn by a Philadelphia Warriors player back in the Convention Hall days. Not the embellishing type, Pollack isn’t sure which player wore it — “had to be a guard,” Pollack said.
