Boy, the 2017-2018 Philadelphia 76ers season was fun. You know what was fun?
The Streak.
One of my favorite sports movies of the last decade is “Moneyball”. It’s also the reason why I’ve become such an analytics nerd enthusiast. If you’ve never seen it, what are you waiting for? It’s fantastic.
There’s a portion in the movie that chronicles between August 13 and September 4, 2002 when the Oakland A’s won 20 straight games. Considering the roster that was built, no one in their right mind thought that was a possibility. It’s one of the cooler moments of the film.
