The Sixers are taking a page from the Eagles support of Meek Mill and are also showing love to Meek while he is in prison. Markelle Fultz and Ben Simmons paid a surprise visit to Meek and the trip was organized by Sixers owner Michael Rubin. Here are more details from TMZ:
We’re told 76ers co-owner Michael Rubin organized the visit … hoping Meek could provide some inspiration for the rookie stars so they can make a push for the NBA playoffs. Rubin’s been a huge supporter of Meek while he’s been locked up, visiting often and bringing along other players, like Joel Embiid.
One source with knowledge of the situation tells us … “the conversation was very positive and Meek’s spirits are still high. He is also proud of the 76ers.”
Meek also dished out some “words of wisdom” for the guys.
The Sixers are peaking at the right time as the playoffs approach and perhaps some inspiration from Meek Mill is just what they need.
