Life in the NBA can change in a flick, and the Philadelphia 76ers probably know that best. Just a few weeks ago, they seemed destined to be stuck in the middle. All of a sudden, they might just have the makings of what could be a bona fide title contender in the league not only now, but also in the immediate future.
With the 76ers finally close to running at full strength, people finally got a glimpse of what they are capable of. They just beat the definitive favorites to come out of the East on the road, and to make things sweeter, they have already unearthed a very encouraging strength of theirs — having established stars who are willing to let go of the reins to let a young talent like VJ Edgecombe shine.
