“This is a black and blue city and you’ve got to be sure to come with your lunch pail,” was the first thing I heard when I turned on the game. It was the voice of Alaa Abdelnaby, a former first round pick who played for the Sixers on a pair of 10-day contracts back in 1995.

I’d missed the first four and a half minutes of the first quarter, and by then, coming out of a Wizards timeout, Philly already led Washington 13-7.
