If any of you are Sixers fans or remember our story, you know that Bill was hired by the 76ers right after the Sixers were awarded the 1st draft pick & chose Allen Iverson in 1996. He carried the team all the way to the NBA Finals against the Lakers in June of 2001. I remember it clearly because I delivered Madison during the Finals...what an exciting time for us! Well when Bill was hired by Pat Croce, he wanted the mascot to emulate their new star. It had to be quick, fast and jump & flip like no other...hence the rabbit. "A rabbit?" we thought...how strange. Now 12 years later, Hip-Hop is (of course in my opinion) the best mascot in the NBA. AI has sinced moved on to the Denver Nuggets but returned for the first time last night. Check out the link to this great shot...
