Thursday was Chris Webber’s 45th birthday. These days, the five-time NBA All-Star and former Sixers forward works as an NBA analyst for TNT, and was courtside last night to call the Sixers’ 108-97 win over Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t Webber’s best night. In the third period, the lefthanded Ben Simmons sank an athletic righthanded jumper over Cavaliers small forward Cedi Osman, who ended up fouling the Sixers standout on the play.
Some might call Simmons “ambidextrous” for his ability to make lefthanded and righthanded jump shots inside the foul line.
