WATCH: Philly fans were roasting Paul George in the streets during NFC Championship celebration

I don’t even enjoy writing about this. I hate the Philadelphia 76ers, dislike Paul George, and overall, I hate everything about this cursed basketball organization.

Last season was a total disaster, and now we’ve got Paul George, in year one of a massive contract, getting chirped by drunk Eagles fans after an NFC Championship celebration. Fitting.

WATCH: Paul George missed the memo, attempted to drive down Broad Street after Eagles punched tickets to the Super Bowl

George told the story on his Podcast P show, recalling how he was trying to make his way back to his Center City condo on January 26 when the streets were flooded with Eagles fans partying their faces off. What should’ve been a peaceful ride home turned into the most Philadelphia welcome imaginable.

“It was love all the way until they got a chance to really speak their minds,” George said. “Soon as I roll the window down… ‘Yo, that’s Paul George! … We could have kept Tobias!’”

We could’ve kept Tobias. That’s the line that echoed off the Broad Street asphalt. And yeah, it stings. Because they’re not wrong.

Paul George’s first season in Philly was a dud. Injuries from the preseason never let up. He couldn’t stay on the floor, didn’t build chemistry with Maxey, and looked like a guy who knew he had nothing to play for.

The Sixers missed the playoffs entirely. And the fans didn’t forget who he replaced.

We chose Paul George over Tobias Harris. Tobias Harris, who we (allegedly) chose over Jimmy Butler. And Jimmy hasn’t let us forget it once. It’s been years of one awful decision after another, and somehow this team still finds new ways to sink lower.

There is no joy in Sixersland. Just pain and finger-pointing. And even though Tobias was Public Enemy No. 1 for years, the second his replacement doesn’t produce, people start rewriting history like he was Tim Duncan in disguise.

That’s what this franchise does to people. It makes you question reality. Up is down, bad is good, and Tobias Harris becomes a fan-favorite once he’s gone.

To Paul George’s credit (I guess), he took it on the chin.

“It was funny,” he said. “But it was some sh-t you take to the heart. Like, ‘You right. Facts. I got you.’”

He better get his sh-t together. This city doesn’t do patience. Not for someone making $47 million per year to sit in street clothes and watch the Knicks and Pacers battle in the second round.

The Sixers are a never-ending storm cloud with a hoop under it. If Paul George can’t flip the script, the fanbase is going to turn on him faster than you can say “one more year of Joel wasting his prime.”

And we’ll all be back here next May, wondering how it went wrong again.
