It seems like it’s been forever since Jason Richardson has made a memorable play within 15 feet of the rim, but last night, the Philadelphia 76ers guard turned back the clock to the early aughts with this breakaway 360 throwdown. That’s right, kiddies, there was a time when J-Rich was the heir apparent to Vinsanity, winning back-to-back Slam Dunk contests — his 2003 showdown with Desmond Mason is criminally underrated — and thus being directly responsible for no fewer than 435 Magic Johnson “the dunk contest is back!” proclamations.
Nowadays, Old Man Richardson — okay, he’s only 31, it just seems like he’s 40 — is almost strictly a jump shooter, but perhaps he got a little inspiration from 56-year-old Marques Johnson last week?

Philly fans are going to have to wait a little longer to see their new franchise center make his Sixers debut, after an injury setback pushed back his timetable.
76ers C Bynum's return to practice pushed to Dec.
Philadelphia 76ers center Andrew Bynum will miss at least five more weeks because of a bone bruise in his right knee and may not play in a game until early January.
When Bynum was hurt in mid-September, the team initially hoped its newly acquired star would be ready for the season opener Oct. 31. Late last month, though, the Sixers said he was out indefinitely.

The arrival of Andrew Bynum in Philadelphia was expected to be so significant, it led many writers to project the Philadelphia 76ers at, or near, the top of the Eastern Conference.

With Holiday at the helm, the Sixers re-established their cushion...
