With redshirt rookie Ben Simmons garnering heavy praise around the league and Joel Embiid looking healthy and better than ever, the long-tanking 76ers are finally winning games, beginning to reap the benefits of their ambitious Process, which Sam Hinkie launched nearly four and a half years ago. As Simmons comfortably leads the Rookie of the Year chase, filling virtually every corner of the stat sheet, he’s surrounded by improved shooter Robert Covington, veteran free-agent acquisition J.J. Redick and, more broadly, a considerably bolstered roster compared to a season ago. Philadelphia’s Defensive Efficiency has cracked the league’s top 10, and Brett Brown’s squad is playing with confidence and even some semblance of consistency. Max Rappaport, co-host of the 76ers-themed Stepover Podcast and contributor to Complex Sports and Bleacher Report, helps us delve deeply into this up-and-coming Eastern Conference team. To close the show, Joe Borelli of the SuperFlight Podcast makes a special appearance to rave about Simmons, whom he affectionately refers to as an “anomaly” and a “physical freak.” The (numerical) time stamps below are only approximate, but the quotes contained inside are the real deal:     6:42-7:25: “I think the hardcore Process fans, maybe their enthusiasm level hasn’t really changed or it’s been shifted in a different way. They’re no longer cult followers of lovable losers. Now they care about wins and losses too, and that makes it, in some ways, more fun, because the team’s better and Embiid’s playing and Simmons has been awesome. But at the same time, it was kind of a win-win before…Now, it’s like half the time you’re kind of pissed after a game.” 14:54-15:27: “He [Embiid] has a super-high usage rate, even now, but it doesn’t feel as…It felt really forced last year, and he was great and they didn’t have Ben Simmons and they really needed to lean on him, but it felt like when he was on the floor, he was going to put up every shot and he was going to go for every block and dive out of the bounds and basically put his body on the line. And I feel like this year, he’s a huge part of the offense and probably the piece in the offense other than Ben Simmons, but it feels more in the flow of things and I feel like that’s been the biggest difference. It just feels more in control.”     19:29-19:55: “When he [Simmons] was first coming into the league, a lot of people talked about a ‘6-10 Rondo,’ which sounded kind of right to me and also sounded awesome…I’m like, ‘That sounds great. That’s an incredible player if he’s that.’ But I think he’s been more than that in the sense that he can score way more efficiently than I thought he could and is just more aggressive getting to the rim and pretty successful doing it. I think that’s really opened up his ability to pass out of the paint.”    28:11-28:24: “The biggest difference I’ve noticed is that he just seems to trust the players a lot more. Brett Brown for a long time was someone who I thought was maybe the most timeout-happy coach in the league.”    Joe Borelli at 46:22-46:58: “His [Ben Simmons’] speed, it lulls you to sleep sort of. You see him coming, and then he just goes into another gear and just kind of blows by his guy. And he’s so big and strong that people can’t really guard him down in the paint. Let’s also not forget he’s really good at rebounding the ball, which is another skill of his that was highly touted coming out of college, remember? He’s just the total package. I think about Ben Simmons, honestly, the way I used to think about LeBron years ago. The guy is just so big, and he’s so strong. He’s just an anomaly. He’s just a physical freak.”  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week we have special guest Max Rappaport of Complex Sports and The Stepover Pod join us to recast the Parker Brothers classic, Clue. Max specifically requested this movie, although unfortunately, he couldn't stay for the whole thing, check out the timestamps if you want to jump around. Clue stars Tim Curry, Michael McKean, Christopher Lloyd, and Madeline Kahn, amongst many talented others. There are plenty of heavy hitters in this movie, but the real star is the dialogue. It reminds me very much of an Aaron Sorkin script. It's super fast, and every line has a double meaning (or a double entendre). The dialogue also provides the perfect medium for some really great comedic performances. While the plot itself is largely inconsequential, it's so well constructed that it allowed for several plausible endings to all coexist.   (0:00 - 15:30) - Show Intro (with Max)  (15:30 - 1:03:22) - Plot Overview (Mike and Chris)  (1:03:22 - 1:43:07) - Recast (with Max)

Many asked us to post the audiobook version of Sam Hinkie's resignation letter separately. So here it is! Page 1: Michael Levin Page 2: LL Pavorsky Page 3: Max Rappaport and Jim Adair Page 4: Spike Eskin Page 5: Sean Carroll Page 6: Spike Eskin Page 7: Andrew Goldstein Page 8: Ben Detrick Page 9: Michael Weber Page 10: Michael Levin Page 11: Michael Baumann Page 12: Eliza Hardy Jones Page 13: Spike Eskin  

It's been two weeks, so we have a lot to talk about. Also, it's the offseason, so we're committed to doing something pretty different or absurd in each podcast. First, we discuss Sam Hinkie's Twitter awakening, Allen Iverson's Hall Of Fame speech, Brett Brown's press lunch, the return of Elton Brand, and the various Embiid media of the week.  Then, we provide you with something incredible and ridiculous. We've recorded and put together an audiobook of Sam Hinkie's resignation letter. The various pages are read by us, LL Pavorsky, Max Rappaport and Jim Adair, Chris Ryan and Andy Greenwald, Sean Carroll, Andrew Goldstein, Ben Detrick, Mike Weber, Michael Baumann, and Eliza Hardy Jones. This is an all-timer. 

A pretty big week for The Process, I think we'd all agree. We talk about the #BusTheProcess trip and reaction, the Ricky basketball game at the Center, Max Rappaport's deep dive on the Trusters in Complex Mag, Kevin Durant's inevitable signing with the Sixers, Brett Brown on the Zach Lowe podcast, Mike's big board, Joel Embiid back in Qatar, TJ vs. Ish, and if the Sixers will win again this season. The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is always brought to you by LL Pavorsky Jewelers. 

Deadspin said we have Stockholm Syndrome, Max Rappaport got like a thousand retweets, we confused other fans and most of the beat writers, and a bunch of Process Trusters refused to chant "Let's Go Sixers" on the big screen, to the confusion of one Christian Crosby. It was a successful RTRS Night at The Center. We wrap up the evening's highlights, talk about the (probably fake) Dennis Schroeder trade, and try to figure out why the Sixers stink so bad again.
