One of the wilder things about this is that he hasn’t even been a bad GM! People got mad about the Hinkie firing but I think everyone agrees that Simmons (admittedly a no-brainer), Redick, Belinelli, etc. were good pickups and he unloaded Okafor. Jury is out on Fultz but he was the consensus top prospect.

I am apparently the only person who remembers that the Fultz trade was the thing that first caused all the hardcore process people to declare it a huge victory and prompted the RTRS dorks to RT anyone who'd ever said anything mean about it

I remember very well and everyone wanted Danny to have hosed up the offseason really badly so his moves (sans Hayward) got a lot of forced chuckles and taunting

you literally think a person saying their NBA team of choice being better than the fucking 76ers is a 'schtick'

Eric Jr is 100% Jerry

BC only has 1 son, Jerry has 3 other daughters


https://www.reddit.com/r/sixers/comments/8n5zgp/eric_jr_jerry_not_bryan/

quote:

Calls himself an "old man" in a lot of his twitter posts

Mentions Jesus / god a ton. From his wiki: "Colangelo has spoken about his faith saying, "The first priority in life is to have that relationship with Jesus Christ. So your faith is number one. ... God [has] a plan for my life."

When all the other burner accounts went private, Eric Jr's did not. Guessing the others were truly Bryan's, but Eric Jr. was Jerry.

From the Ringer: "One of the few non-basketball accounts followed by Eric jr is an Arizona man named Lawrence “LB” Bain. Bain’s Twitter bio lists his location as Paradise Valley, a small town in Maricopa County, Arizona, that is five miles from the address of JDM Partners LLC, a financial company where Jerry Colangelo is a partner." It's much more likely that Jerry would follow this man, not Bryan...

Also from the Ringer: "Eric jr went on the attack. “I sat NEXT to you and [Dwyane Wade] at Beijing Olympics and saw you both being rude nasty to little kid fan,” the account said. “Had to eat yr pizza. … You showed no respect to this little kid, who are you to stand on high grounds? Never looked at DW the same after that.” During the 2008 Olympics, Jerry Colangelo, then the managing director of the U.S. men’s national basketball team, was in Beijing." JERRY was there, not Bryan. It's much more likely he was sitting next to Dwayne Wade as the managing director of the Olympic team.

All the other connections (e.g. watching his Grandson's Chicago basketball team, defending Brian, criticizing Hinkie / Masai, etc.) all still make complete sense with Jerry instead of Brian.

Last but not least, rearrange "Eric Jr" --> "Jerri C". Okay that one's a stretch, but still.

Jerry is also still employed by the 76ers, right? So it's still their special advisor ragging on the star player he wasn't around to draft.
