The Atlantic Files #152 – Sam Hinkie steps down

This week on The Atlantic Files:

After a long hiatus where the whole world seemed like it was ending, we are back! Yes, it is great timing with the NBA also being on hiatus, we know. So, we’re bringing back a nice little episode on Sam Hinkie.

This episode was originally posted way back on April 7, 2016! An emergency pod was recorded because Sam Hinkie stepped down as the Philadelphia 76ers General Manager which eventually became the seat that Bryan Colangelo filled. Sixers fans were split down the middle on whether this was a good move or not, but at this point, a lot of fans may want Hinkie back.

Without further ado, let’s get into the episode that still breaks my heart to this day. Yes, I recorded this episode right after a college class where I was not paying attention because I was fuming over the fact Hinkie was not the GM anymore and ‘The Process’ felt like it was ending.

Being from the suburbs of Philadelphia, it was hard not to become a Sixers fan during Allen Iverson's prime. Other than just the Sixers, I enjoy watching all forms and levels of basketball, especially the WNBA. Outside of basketball, I've been playing and coaching volleyball for most of my life. Also, after graduating from the University of Pittsburgh, I became a Software Developer by day, while writing and hosting podcasts by night.
