How bad has it gotten for the Sixers, who are currently 0-15 and on a 25-game losing streak? Enough to get the attention of fans in remote cities, concerned for the Sixers’ wellbeing.
A popular twitter account amongst the Duke community, @DukeNBA, produced and posted a simple 30-second video, captioned it in the tweet with simply, “#SaveJahli”.
The montage includes scenes from the Sixers’ losing, including his infamous stumble back to the locker room.
