Sixers TV Play by Play Host Kate Scott joined us to talk about the upcoming Sixers season. Here is what Kate had to say…
On James Harden Saying That He And Embiid Could Be Unstoppable
“I think he’s spot on, and we all saw that. When it worked, it was unstoppable, it was unbeatable. Now they have to figure out a way to do that whenever they want to. They have to find that unspoken little chemistry that teammates figure out the more they play together. And they aren’t there yet. There was a little frustration at practice today which is why Doc and James talked afterward. Because you want it to be there right now. They’re impatient, were all impatient. That’s why they are practicing. That is why they got together out in LA. That is why they came 2 weeks early to the facility in Camden. So this is like training camp number three. Just the dedication of all the guys on this years squad has been great to see.”
On Getting To Watch Joel Embiid Play
“I thought he was the MVP last year. I felt like last year I was kind of an unbias observer. He’s phenomenal. The fact that he didn’t start playing basketball until the age of 16. The fact that he is 7 ft tall and almost 300 pounds, and yet he looks like a point guard out there. The grace, the fluidity, and smoothness that he plays with. I feel so fortunate. And I hope the fans feel the same way. It’s a pinch me m moment every single night. He is going to go down as one of the all-time greats. And I think he is just now getting into peak form. I think the next few years will be even more special than the last few have been. And he’s an incredible human too.”
