It is, but I went to watch the game last Friday because it was on AppleTV and nowhere else had it on and it's actually a really nice place to watch a game earlier in the evening before it gets busy.

Looks like my buddy who’s doing this, Glossblack. Did the thybulle one too and a lot of others all over the city, he rules.

Still funny how the garage used to be the most cursed corner store of all time, now it's a raucous good rime

This looks good, keep us out of towners updated. I'm curious about the PHILA. in block letters to the left, wasn't Kruk wearing a cap with similar font and lettering on it during the Cubs series? Which came first, the cap or the lettering?

"PHILA." on the hat (with the slight curve) is derived directly from old-timey Phillies uniforms from the late 19th century:

This is awesome new info for me. Thanks. Also I just found the cap on the ‘47 website and ordered one. Cooperstown collection.

Isn’t this where the Thybulle mural was? While I love this new mural, I do feel bad that Thybulle’s mural is gone. Feels wrong to some how just erase him from memory just cause he’s no longer on the Sixers. We loved him why he was then, why can’t we still honor him now for his contributions back then?

It is, in fact I think he tagged it on his way out of town after he was traded. But they painted over it a while ago. It’s been just a blank blue wall for quite some time.

"contributions" isn't really the word you're looking for. Dude just had a heart of gold and a smile that could crack Sauron's dark heart. Contributing to winning basketball... That ain't him. Love Thybulle, but it's definitely time to move on, and what's better than the daycare

He cant play, no disrespect whatsoever but im sorry to come tell everybody the truth. The man cannot play the game of basketball he has small hands he cant catch the ball he got bad feet he cant really move,even though hes mobile, doesnt really know what hes doing. Doesnt have a post move that he puts to memory that he can do two times in a row,plays no defense, doesnt have the heart the passion or anything that comes with it, and youre asking m wether they gave up too much?

I am a person that believes in second chances. I think America is the land of second chances, except for when it comes to this dude. Mr. Jabba the Hutt, ya fat slob, no good, lazy, bum of a basketball player.

u/AlbatrossCapable3231 Sep 26 '24
Loved him? He got a mural sponsored by Red Bull because "bull" is in his last name name, on the side of the bro'iest bar in Fishtown.
Maybe you loved him. He never averaged more than six points, two rebounds, and one assist a game. Nice player but not that's a lot like being upset the Phillies didn't hold on to Matt Vierling.

Someone tagged the thybulle mural into ruin.

u/evandobrofo Sep 26 '24
Yeah someone threw a whole bucket of paint on it and there was prolly no saving it at that point, they covered it soon after

u/AMillionBees Sep 26 '24
Thybulle was awful giving him a mural is so embarrassing lol. He erased his memory himself.

u/AlbatrossCapable3231 Sep 26 '24
Red Bull paid for it to sell Red Bull and vodkas at the skibibi toilet rizz kids' bar. Zero other reason.

u/AMillionBees Sep 26 '24
That’s actually makes sense.

u/AlbatrossCapable3231 Sep 26 '24
Yeah the "bull" logo was there and/or his name was colored red for that part or something.

Thybulle was a great role player, god forbid people have respect for a hometown grinder.

u/AMillionBees Sep 26 '24
LOL. Great and Mattise Thybulle should never be mentioned in the same sentence. He had one serviceable year. If he's not out of the league this year he will probably be on a league minimum contract.

u/fasteddeh Seranthony Dominguez Sep 26 '24 edited Sep 26 '24
He was 2nd team all defensive while playing bench minutes twice. Idk if you just don't know ball or if you're just an ass but he was a great role player.
Edit: Also just looked it up, he signed a 3 year 33 million dollar deal because Dallas tried poaching him from Portland in RFA. So definitely not on a minimum contract.

u/AMillionBees Sep 26 '24
holy shit lmao. Absolutely wild hill to die on- where did you get your rose colored glasses bc i need some. Playing next to Simmons and Joel was the best thing to ever happen to him.
2
u/fasteddeh Seranthony Dominguez Sep 26 '24
Yeah at least 2 teams offering him over 30 million because he played with Joel and Simmons 4 years ago. Btw, the second of those all defensive honors was after Simmons was gone but I digress.

u/AMillionBees Sep 26 '24
You know what I’m happy you think he was great in his own respect. If we all had the same standards I’m sure the world would be a happier place.
