With the continued popularity of Star Wars movies rivaling that of the Philadelphia 76ers, it’s only a matter of time before comparisons are made. Which Star Wars character correlates to which Sixer?

Okay, the Philadelphia 76ers are good. In relative terms of recent teams, this group is on par with Jedi Knights.  Stretch of the imagination? Perhaps, but work with me here.  We know that the Star Wars universe has just released a new gangbusters movie which will call into action new plot twists and turns known to date.  But let’s imagine for a minute that the Philadelphia 76ers, rather than the Jedi Knights, had to answer the call to defend the universe against the Sith. If that were the case, who would the Philadelphia 76ers counterparts be in Star Wars?

Yes, of course, this has nothing to do with rotations, box-score stats, or team direction.  But too much left-lobed thought processes make you dull and this holiday season… boring.  So get with the spirit of the season, Mr. Scrooge!  There is a significant movie event out there.  If you haven’t taken time to laugh and spend time with your family, here is your shot.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi debuts

To encourage the quality time with loved ones, I’ll set you up with a segue between the NBA and Star Wars: The Last Jedi. After all, Star Wars has been undertaking a period of … rebuilding as well. Creating new characters, sitting in phase two. So what do the main Star Wars characters feel about this comparison?

Well there you have it. Even Star Wars has learned to “Trust The Process”. That’s good enough for me.
