The Sixers properly whipped up on the Wizards, and we talk about Tyrese Maxey's shoot first attitude, Paul George's silky smooth shot, and the difference between loose and quick Joel Embiid and crunchtime Embiid. Then we introduce the newest member of Team Ricky, Beckett Sanderson, a data scientist that will write a weekly column called Enter Statman. Finally, we discuss a new entry in the plane seat reclining debate.

The Sixers rallied for a win in Memphis over the Grizzlies in a signature VJ Edgecombe performance. Embiid looked the most spry he has in years in the team's first win with Maxey, Embiid and Paul George all active. Then we relive the Lottery Party moment at Franklin Music Hall when we got the #3 pick, and put the APB out for a Ricky listener on an Amtrak train who stole a seat. Happy 2026, we love you.
