Daryl Morey wants Sam Hinkie to ring the bell before a 76ers playoff game
Sam Hinkie is an absolute legend in Philadelphia. The orchestrator of #TheProcess is untouchable.
Yes, he took them through years and years of miserable tanking. But it also landed them Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons. And now, years later, here they stand as the top seed in the Eastern Conference with a legitimate MVP candidate who just had one of the most dominant seasons of basketball we’ve ever seen.
That man deserves his respect. And Daryl Morey is trying to give it to him. Morey suggested on Twitter that the former GM come back and ring the bell for the 76ers one time for the one time during the playoffs.
Let's try to get @samhinkie for the bell ringing

Ringing the bell is a good luck charm for the 76ers. They’ve been doing it since 2013 and, ironically, it started in the Hinkie “Process” era.
Hinkie was fired by the organization after NBA owners pushed Adam Silver to nudge Philadelphia to move on. They did. And he hasn’t been near the team since.
If he comes back in this way? Absolutely legendary stuff. Please, Daryl Morey. Make it happen. Not just for the Sixers faithful, but for #TheProcess and processors everywhere.
TTP for life.
