Has Sixers Sam Hinkie Hustled The NBA?
When I think of the word “hustle”, I picture Steve McQueen with a lit cigarette hanging off his lips, or Paul Newman and Robert Redford scheming to con mob boss Robert Shaw. You know that the set up to hustle is typically to feign simplicity and allow someone to believe that they have you at a disadvantage. Then, raise the stakes. Place the wager so high that it breaks either side. The “mark”, now completely overconfident and greedy, jumps at the chance at “easy money”. But the hustle kicks in, and the mark rapidly discovers that overconfidence and greed have left them powerless to prevent losing it all.
