Philadelphia 76ers Must Wait For Greatness – We’re Great At It
By Bret Stuter
When Bryan Colangelo announced to the world that the Philadelphia 76ers needed to deal a center, fans cringed. Now, he realizes that to realize the true value in today’s NBA, he must play his hand as closely as Sam Hinkie once did.
Social Media has turned each of us into a nexus of untold information: some of it good, some of it bad. I recall years ago when international news, national news, local news, sports, and weather was compressed into 30 minutes at either 6 PM or 11 PM. If you wanted more detail on the national or international news front, you remained glued to the television at 6:30 PM.
That was it folks. That was our “window” into information about the world around us.

The father of Jerry Colangelo grew up in that window. In those days, you were never pre-announced to your peers. You were listed as a photograph and a very standard biography.
Every other fact or impression made about you was that which you created yourself.
Jerry Colangelo mastered the art of impression by learning what to say and how to say it quickly to give that person on the other end of his handshake the information needed to remember his name, and enough facts to record as to why remembering that name was vital to do.
And he shared that knowledge with his son, Bryan Colangelo. And then, the world changed.
