Liberty Ballers: for Philadelphia 76ers fans

Merry New Year, Philadelphia 76ers fans! It’s the first “Out of Site” of the new year, and we’re starting off by keeping it going with the #FreeShake movement. Yes, Shake Milton has officially been freed! He has a clear role (sixth man). He has confidence. He has added muscle. He’s doing all the Shake things that made him a popular player before and during the bubble, and it has apparently bled into the start of this season. Tyler Monahan joins host Adio Royster to discuss how Shake has grown and what the 2020-2021 season holds for Mr. Milton.

This podcast is clutch! Dave Early joins host Adio Royster to help draw the parallel between the “Clutch City” Houston Rockets and your Philadelphia 76ers. Dave wrote a piece on how Sam Cassell, current assistant Sixers coach, rose to stardom as a young rookie with those Rockets teams, what wisdom he can pass on to Ben Simmons and other young back court folks as well as which young players can become to the Sixers what Cassell was to the Rockets.

One final hard on for Harden. This is it! According to host Adio Royster, this is the final time that James Harden rumors will be discussed on Out of Site.
