Rights To Ricky Sanchez: The Sixers Podcast

We discuss the big news out of Orlando, that Ben Simmons has been playing power forward exclusively, and Shake Milton has been the primary point guard, its effects on the team and why it took so long. The former-forever Sixers guard Larry Hughes joins us to talk about life after the NBA, playing with Iverson, playing with LeBron, the Orlando Bubble and the Nelly video for Dilemma. You can hear Larry on the Bleav In Wizards podcast with Matt Modderno. The Rights To Ricky Sanchez Podcast is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook.

The Sixers are in The Bubble, and the only people to tell us about it are the Sixers. We discuss the reports from Orlando so far, the seven year anniversary of The Ricky, welcome our newest staff member Mike O'Connor, and talk to Hassan Bennett, a Philadelphia man who was wrongly convicted of murder, spent 13 years in jail, and proved his innocence by acting as his own lawyer.  Follow Hassan on Twitter here, on Instagram here, and get his t-shirts here. Follow Mike O'Connor on Twitter here.  The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook.

We bet on over/unders for the Sixers entire stay during the Hostage Orlando Playoffs (play the free pool to win $500 on Draft Kings) including starts by Horford, threes by Embiid and Covington vs. Thybulle shooting, Tony T and Tommy from Down The Shore join to talk about their Top 20 foods list and Hoagie quarantine, we discuss the DeSean Jackson situation, the total money raised for the Brotherly Love script, and Joel Embiid's comments about the playoffs. The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook. 

Al Horford suggests he was hurt, Ben Simmons says he's in great shape and wants more pick and roll, and Bryan Colangelo says he was absolved of wrong-doing. We welcome Alonzo Jones to Team Ricky, sign up for Zo's Corner Three newsletter here. We review Devon Gilfillian's Black Hole Rainbow in the Carl Landry Record Club, discuss trading for Wall or Wiggins, and name music and movies Mt Rushmores.

Brett Brown says that nobody worked out more during quarantine than Joel Embiid. Is this good? Ben Simmons is healthy, and Brown thinks Howard Eskin looks like Forrest Gump. Zhaire Smith goes down with another injury, and we welcome Mike's writing parter Patrick Kang to talk about their TV show script about Ben Simmons and his family, Brotherly Love.

The Sixers, whether we like it or not, are going to play more games. We talk about the Sixers bubble schedule, assessing the risk the league faces in doing it, and Joel Embiid's six year anniversary as a Sixer. ESPN's Kevin Arnovitz joins us to talk about covering The Process, Ime Udoka's future, Brett Brown's future, and whether the Sixers can be the sleeper team in Orlando.  The Rights To Ricky Sanchez podcast is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook. 

Charles Barkley thinks that nobody wants to play the Sixers, which would make sense if he's not watched them at all this year. We discuss Barkley's comments, Joel Embiid and Josh Richardson wanting a place to go play soccer, a theory about the Astros cheating that angers Mike, the release of Mike's Brotherly Love Script, and our dads in a reality show. The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook.

To celebrate Father's Day, the Ricky welcomed the two Ricky dads, Glenn Levin and Howard Eskin, to talk about their sons, the Sixers, dads, what what makes a good Philadelphia sports owner. Also discussed are JJ Redick's comments about Tobias Harris and Jimmy Butler, as well as our Carl Landry Record Club album of the week, Brian Fallon's Local Honey. Draft Kings Sportsbook is the presenting sponsor of the Rights To Ricky Sanchez podcast. 

Bryan Colangelo couldn't get anyone to hire him so he bought part of a team in Australia... we won't be letting this one go. Josh Harris bought part of the Steelers, Joel Embiid got a driver's license, so we try to figure out how it happened and remember our driving tests. We discuss the ridiculous, hilarious rules in Orlando, name Al Horford after a hotel, listen to Spike's blackjack stories, and do not talk to Tony Wroten, who is taking part in the TBT Tournament. Also, the DH is bullshit.  The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook.

The NBA was heading smoothly toward its Orlando arrival, and then Kyrie said that "something is fishy." We discuss the different issues in restarting, what would happen if Ben Simmons played with Michael Jordan, whether shorts are pants, and Sixers Adam gives a take that will most likely cause outrage.  The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook.  The Ricky is now on YouTube with full video. This week’s Carl Landry Record Club album is Brian Fallon’s ‘Local Honey.’
