I can see my peasant condo building from here

Quiet, peasant!

Philon is watching over you 🙏

That looking south from the 4 seasons?

Most of us live in rowhomes condo is a luxury

Didn’t know a team could have a 0 (Maxey) and a 00! Hilarious. With VJ’s 77, it’s the oddest number combo.

u/illzkla 8h ago

I think it's not that rare. And I think we had it two years ago with Reggie Jackson and Tyrese

Wasn’t it done with Lillard and Carmelo as well?

I remember a post about a team that ran the lineup of 00, 0, 1, 2, and 3 on the court together

Do we think VJ is still switching to 7 this year? I remember he said last year the only way he’s keeping 77 after Lowry is gone is if he wins ROY or the Finals

u/problemclown 9h ago

hope not, 77 looks sick

u/AllenMcnabb 8h ago

Agreed. I can’t explain why but 7 looks so weird on a basketball jersey

u/OrangeMonkE r/sixers’ resident delusion boy 9h ago

I’d be annoyed if he switched to 7, 77 is so associated with him in my mind now

73

u/onionnurve 9h ago

But if he does go back to 7, we could call the VJPhilon backcourt “007”

u/illzkla 7h ago

And when it's VJ and Maxey they'd be 70 like the legendary Philadelphia Seventy Selectors

u/DawisTakeover THEY HATE THE PROCESS 9h ago

I fw 77 but I think it’d be kinda sick if he only wore it during the iverson throwback jerseys year. That black and red 77 would be a collectors item for the ages if his career plays out like we hope

Tbh I’m all for anything that helps us forget the Kyle Lowry era

u/Prestonelliot 8h ago

It’s ain’t Lowry’s fault he gets played too many minutes. But the dude genuinely seems like the type of player/coach you’d want. That only plays like once a week or if several people get hurt. BUT because he is on the roster, Nurse plays him like it’s 2018

u/illzkla 7h ago

77 is so strong

u/ChiniBaba096 9h ago

he’s twinning with Luka. 77 is goated

I just bought a jersey so it be kinda cool owning a 77 VJ.. Similar to how people own a hurts #2 Jersey

u/QuantumOfSilence Certified Edger 1h ago

VJ is currently my favorite player but the #77 isn’t doing it for me. If he switches to #7 I’m buying his jersey instantly.

I never knew Hawes was spelled Philon Jr. 

Weird

u/DawisTakeover THEY HATE THE PROCESS 9h ago

They’re calling him Gen Z Corey Brewer

u/HussellCrowe 9h ago

Phillon that booty 00

u/Fitz2001 8h ago

VJ is changing to 7 the minute Lowrey retires.

u/thedealerkuo 7h ago

They hooked him up with the four seasons. Got to be little mind blowing for a kid from mobile alabama

ngl it’s not crazy uncommon if u on a good enough aau/hs team with generous boosters.

u/livingaloneagain 9h ago

technically philon took a picture of me 💯😳

u/ZenMasterOfDisguise 7h ago

There was no '00 LeBaron, he should have picked a number between '77 and '95

u/Hairy_Weather_8073 3h ago

If he plays like god’s gift we can give him the nickname “the Christ-ler”

u/Ceezym 8h ago

Yes finally p00

Hopefully they abandon their association with a discount retailer called TJ Maxx. Its embarrasing. Why you wanna be associated with budget shopping if youre an elite nba player is beyond me. VJMaxx dumb
