Do the Philadelphia 76ers have a losing culture that will make it impossible for Sam Hinkie’s plan to work? I personally believe this is a vastly overrated talking point, but I’m willing to seriously consider it. If losing culture is a real thing that affects players, how does it work?
I imagine a player like Jahlil Okafor that was raised in a winning culture and has been known as a winner his whole life, had an extreme culture shock when he was drafted by the Sixers. Okafor was now forced to conform to the win-a-phobic environment Hinkie has created.
