Sixers mercifully put an end to tanking

In case you missed it, the Philadelphia 76ers announced they have returned to the NBA.

For the last three years, they have been in a remote location serving as the kings of Tanking Town.

They lost at an alarming rate — going 47-199 in that stretch — in order to get a crack at the best players in successive drafts.

No one has ever been better at being the worst. The NBA had never seen anything like it, a team compiling losing streaks of — get this — 26, 18 and 17 games.
