A Happy Father's Day Card for the Father of the Future Sixer Dynasty, Sam Hinkie
Dear Dad/Sam,
Sometimes we don't thank you enough for the sacrifices you make.
We appreciate you giving it all up, to leave us riches in your wake.
This Father’s Day wouldn’t be Fultz Day without you.
We wouldn’t have the Aussie LeBron without your grand long-view plans, which like a boomerang always came sailing back into our hands.
Your favorite son Joel is still here, currently feeling alright.
We pray every night the Basketball Gods keep him upright.
If it wasn’t for your keen eye for talent and Zenlike patience, the 2016-17 NBA Rookie of the Year would not be a Philadelphia-based Croatian.
And speaking of Rookie of the Year(s), remember MCW?
I recall they all told us that trading him would trouble you.
Buy low, sell high, that’s what smart dads teach their sons to do.
Now with this talent-rich young core, at an average age of 21?
We’d like to thank you in advance for our bright future to come.
Jerry got his boy Brian a job, but like Vlade, he’ll always be Sam’s son.
Happy Father’s Day, Hinkie.
Your trust in the process will be the reason we won.
With Eternal Love & Gratitude,
The City of Brotherly Attitude
