The Philadelphia 76ers are absolutely cooking, hitting a 7-1 record after yet another win on Monday.

The fans are locked in, riding that same wave of excitement, and you could see it clear as day with that viral clip of LeBron and the fan.
The Sip Heard ‘Round the League
So, what actually happened? LeBron gave us the scoop after the game. He said, “I spilled some of his wine. I crashed into him, spilled some of his wine. So I wanted to see if it was worth it on my arm and how good it was. It was all right.” Turns out, it was wine, and we all know that’s one of LeBron’s favorites. The fan, Troy Clemons, even got interviewed later and gave his side: “Walking to my seat, whatever this beverage is, we won’t say what it is, LeBron crashed into me. He grabbed me, and he said, ‘My bad.’ My drink spilled everywhere; he took my drink, took a sip, gave it back, and ran back.” You gotta love that kind of interaction, right? It really speaks to the kind of environment the 76ers are building with this team, thriving and succeeding this early in the season.
The 76ers are absolutely rolling right now, thriving and succeeding early in the season. Fans in Philadelphia are surely hoping this incredible energy and performance keeps up all year long.
