Hinkie story a must-read, if not must-believe

THERE'S AT LEAST one good reason to buy ESPN The Magazine's "Body Issue" beyond the nude figure of corpulent cover model Vince Wilfork.

Dwyane Wade, Greg Louganis and Elena Delle Donne might create more buzz, but when the mag drops today it will feature something even more titillating to HoopsNerds: a profile of Sam Hinkie. The piece is built on rare, on-the-record interviews conducted with Hinkie in March - four months after Jerry Colangelo supplanted him atop the Sixers organization; a month before Hinkie resigned; and a little more than a month before Colangelo hired his son, Bryan, to run the team.
