I didn’t have this on my bingo card heading into the year, but the thing I’m looking forward to watching most on Christmas Day is the battle between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Miami Heat. The 76ers are my adopted NBA team this year, as I dive into the sport of basketball to experience the same escape that Pirates fans feel when they watch baseball. This is the third time in my life that I’ve attempted to follow the 76ers. The first came in high school, when Allen Iverson single-handedly took the franchise to the NBA finals. The second came a few years ago, when the full-court play of young big-man Joel Embiid stood out to me.
