Philadlelphia 76ers fans finally got a win.
On a night that was something of a Viking funeral for departed GM Sam Hinkie, his disciples gathered at Xfinity Live! in the middle of the South Philly sports complex to watch what basically equated to a coin flip.
But man, what an exciting coin flip it was.
For the first time in a long, long time, Sixers fans came up on the winning end of the coin.
A remarkable crowd gathered for the Rights to Ricky Sanchez / Liberty Ballers Draft Lottery party. And it was a party.
From early booing of the Process Haters (Howard Eskin, Jerry Colangelo, Scott O'Neil) to raucous chants in praise of Sam Hinkie, it was a wild scene. Here are some highlights.
