NBC is bringing back the nostalgia with a '90s-themed broadcast of the Philadelphia 76ers' game against the San Antonio Spurs. Get ready for a trip down memory lane as the network recreates the retro feel of its 1995-96 telecast, complete with the return of sports announcer Bob Costas and the iconic 'Roundball Rock' theme song. But here's where it gets controversial... Are we really going back to the era when the Sixers were led by rookie Jerry Stackhouse and won only 18 games during the 1995-96 campaign? Yes, but that allowed them to land lottery pick Allen Iverson, who is now putting up impressive numbers with the Sixers this season. And this is the part most people miss... With Paul George suspended and center Joel Embiid sidelined with an oblique strain, the Sixers will rely on guard Tyrese Maxey to step up and lead the team. If you're a fan of the 76ers or just want to relive the '90s, tune in for tonight's telecast at 7pm with an hour-long edition of 'NBA Showtime' hosted by Hannah Storm. Tip-off is at 8pm at the Xfinity Mobile Arena, and tickets start at $48+. But will the Sixers' current squad be able to recreate the magic of the '90s? That's the question on everyone's mind. So, what do you think? Will the Sixers' current squad be able to recreate the magic of the '90s? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
