Philadelphia 76ers: Top 10 moments of 2018
10. Every post-Super Bowl E-A-G-L-E-S chant
Allow me to digress from basketball for a quick second.
Simply put, Feb. 4, 2018 was probably the greatest day of my life. I cried that night, straight up. The Eagles winning a Super Bowl was something I was beginning to believe I would never experience in my lifetime, as did many Philadelphians.
And if you know anything about Philadelphians, you’re probably aware that whenever its teams win, they live that victory up to the absolute fullest. Because frankly, it doesn’t happen very often around here. That’s what makes it the best sports town in the country if you ask me. We suffer through the lowest of lows with our teams, and we celebrate our highest highs
If I’m being frank, Philadelphia is most definitely a football town. We love all our teams, don’t get me wrong. But this city lives and dies by its Eagles. That love was (and still is) at its peak in the days, weeks, and months, really, following that Super Bowl victory. So it’s only fitting that that love carried over to Sixers games:

It’s such a testament to not only how great this city’s fan base is, but also how connected all its teams are.
