Eric Lewis vs John Hao, unstoppable force meets immovable object

[–][LAC] Pablo Prigionilolwtferic 678 points679 points  (7 children)

immovable object

I think the wheelchair allows mobility.

[–]76ersretroracer33 132 points133 points  (3 children)

hes the unstoppable force bro. dudes got nitrous on that bitch.

[–]Gabagoo44 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Might be before some of y’all were born but this reminds me of the movie silver bullet, lmao.

[–]1LakeShow7 1 point2 points  (1 child)

That things has missles

[–]76ersretroracer33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

apparentlky they backfired and destroyed the sixers ability to play basketball

[–]NotAsDank 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Ay cmon man 💀

[–]Heatcarbine23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah but if you lock them wheels up it’s pretty much immovable trust me

[–]Lakersraymond_w 98 points99 points  (1 child)

Overheard in the Celtics locker room after game 7:

"He got me," Tatum said of Hao's intimidation over him. "That f***ing Hao boomed me."

Tatum added, "He's so inspirational," repeating it four times.

Tatum then said he wanted to add Hao to the list of people he rolls with this summer.

The Sixers really wheeled this man from his hospital bed to come watch a massacre

“see? it can be worse”

[–]LakersMondoFool 36 points37 points  (1 child)

I would have stood up and walked out after the 3rd quarter

[–]Knickscapitalistsanta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would require watching a miracle and that wasn't it

[–]ThunderDLottchula 2 points3 points  (0 children)

not his first time

[–][GSW] Stephen Currysctthuynh 225 points226 points  (4 children)

John Hao vs the curse of elimination Harden.

I've no clue which Harden will show up tonight,

Game 1 & 4 Harden or Game 2,3 & 6 Harden.

Philly wins if Harden plays the same or better than he did in game 5.

[–][deleted] 58 points59 points  (1 child)

“God answers child’s prayer, ‘No’, says God”

— basically this game

[–][GSW] Stephen Currysctthuynh 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm thinking even John Wick would've lost to the curse of elimination Harden.

[–]76ersretroracer33 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I think game 5 Harden prob gives us the best chance

[–]Rocketswillishappy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s not looking good so far.

[–]HeatEmilia67 625 points626 points  (66 children)

Harden legacy game 👀

[–][PHI] Joel Embiidmartithebandito 219 points220 points  (1 child)

Definitely a legacy game

[–]Gran DestinoOG3NUNOBY 31 points32 points  (0 children)

He's somehow playing better than Embiid too. Shit is rough.

[–]76ersEagles_63 164 points165 points  (46 children)

PLEASE

I want to ride this high for the next few days until a 1 legged Jimbo thrashes us 🥴

[–]76ersEagles_63 65 points66 points  (5 children)

This kid is gonna roll into traffic after watching us play and I don't blame him

[–][BOS] Grant WilliamsThe_Moustache 15 points16 points  (3 children)

[–]76ersEagles_63 12 points13 points  (1 child)

[–]Netsallstar_003 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Oof

[–]CIark 29 points30 points  (5 children)

I’m so sad because I feel like Boston is gonna win and the kid shouldn’t have to watch such heartbreak. Hoping I’m wrong lol

[–]76ershappyhappy7 111 points112 points  (4 children)

The kid watched his peers die and himself get shot…

He’ll be ok after the 76ers/Harden inevitably do 76ers/Harden things

[–]Pacersjtangjetang 13 points14 points  (1 child)

damn thats depressing...

[–]bransimp420 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Good call - on the 76ers/harden doing what they do best

[–]Nuggetsmohiben 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's almost certainly true, but I'm still surprised how close Embiid/Harden made things

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I want the Sixers to make the Finals and win just so this guy can go sit courtside at every Finals game this year.

[–]CelticsThanosIsDoomfist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NOPE

[–]Nuggetsmohiben 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So about that

[–]Clipperscalifournya -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Please, NBA. Just let Harden have one immortal season and then fuck him over again for the rest of his career. Just let us have this one, pretty please. I promise to never talk shit about scott foster or reffing again.

[–]Truckermeat -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

“Our stadium magically lost all ramps. Real bummerbumper”

FTFY.

All jokes aside, glad they flew him out to BOS for game 7. I’m hoping the refs don’t fuck this up……

[–]CelticsTotal_Customer_6627 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s nice that they’re flying him out.

Still hope the sixers lose

[–]TopShelfBrand1134 315 points316 points  (7 children)

John Hao MVP legacy game. We can't beat him.

[–]76ersGarfieldFromGarfield 247 points248 points  (6 children)

no fucking way. this guy is an absolute legend.

[–]WarriorsWakingRage 12 points13 points  (5 children)

Harden bout to pop the fuck off

[–]TimberwolvesCheeseAndCam 71 points72 points  (1 child)

This poor kid has been through so much and now harden forces him to watch this shitty game as punishment as well.

[–]MavericksAtreusIsBack 38 points39 points  (0 children)

[–][deleted] 35 points36 points  (2 children)

[–]NuggetsPiano_Fingerbanger 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Damn they brought this kid in just to traumatize him all over again.

[–]Celticsqwertyuiopsucks 36 points37 points  (2 children)

Man I feel bad for this guy

[–][IND] Victor OladipoBoogerSugarSovereign 8 points9 points  (1 child)

Presuming the Boston crowd isn't being too hostile he still got to be in the building for a Game 7 and has gotten to meet his favorite player more than once, pretty cool overall even if he didn't get his desired result today

[–]WizardsStaffSgtDignam 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Presuming the Boston crowd isn't being too hostile

Lol

[–]BucksCompetitive_Quiet179 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I know there's a lot of jokes in here, but this is still so awesome that Harden has been such a great friend for him

[–]Pelicansjyozefu 11 points12 points  (0 children)

John Hao better give his wheelchair up to Embiid.

MVP needs it more.

[–]76ersNeptuneEDM 11 points12 points  (0 children)

John Halo vs Eric Lewis vs Cursed TD Garden vs Scott Foster vs 1 good game followed by 2 bad games Harden vs Game 7 Harden vs Timeout saving Mazzulla vs Game 7 Doc Rivers

Idk who’s winning anymore

[–]76ersBobMekoElToro 29 points30 points  (3 children)

I’ve seen enough, Sixers in 7

[–]kamekaze1024 29 points30 points  (2 children)

2nd worst massacre he’s witnessed

[–]Lakerschandlerossjoey 18 points19 points  (0 children)

John Hao vs Scott Foster and Eric Lewis. It's gonna be fun.

[–]Canadajaydogggg 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Great, now Harden is gunna break Wilts 100

[–]Celticsunexpectedreboots 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Just to watch Harden be the worst player on the floor. Sad.

[–]76ersklemonade25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Joel game him a run for his money though!

[–]Lakersdeycallmegeno 14 points15 points  (1 child)

[–]NBAItsKBS 20 points21 points  (1 child)

Boston had a good run

[–]Nuggetsmohiben 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like this comment because it's still pretty true after the game, just not the way you meant it

[–][PHI] Paul ReedZashiony 22 points23 points  (3 children)

Pack it up, Boston. It’s over now.

[–]CelticsLarryBirdsGrundle 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Oops

[–]Senorpoppy117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indeed it is.

[–]76ersPicklePanther9000 13 points14 points  (2 children)

Hope he brought his own wheelchair. The one in boston probably still has skid marks on the seat

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oof

[–]Minneapolis LakersUnderrated_user20 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Make me cry thinking about what this kid went through. James Harden is the coolest.

[–]76erstscher16 6 points7 points  (3 children)

Between this and the WOJ leak, this is going to be the wildest game 7

[–]probablymy15thaccnt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh it was wild alright

[–]RaptorsLeeSinCarefully 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Wasn't John Hao in attendance when Philly had that monumental collapse near the end of Game 6, in Philly?

[–]76ersProfessor_Finn[S] 4 points5 points  (1 child)

No actually, he wasn’t there

[–][MIN] Tyus JonesIslandkid679 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In hindsight, probably not the best day to come to the game

[–]Lakershomo_bulla 7 points8 points  (1 child)

It’s obviously nice but does anyone else not love the cutseyness they bestow on him? Like he’s just a guy who was involved in a tragedy. Maybe he’d just like to be treated special by the sixers without all the “awww 🥹🥹 our precious good luck charm is here 🥺🥺🥰🥰🥺 😻😻🤗🤗”

[–]WizardsStaffSgtDignam 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don’t think he is their good luck charm lol

[–]ThunderNext-Firefighter-753 11 points12 points  (1 child)

How anticlimactic would this be if they still ended up getting blown out

[–]Nuggetsguyguyminheimer 16 points17 points  (0 children)

To answer: it was pretty climactic.

[–]winovic94 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just to watch harden display his disaster class and likely leave 76ers

[–]CelticsSuperstar15 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Look who is going home

[–]76ersProfessor_Finn[S] 65 points66 points  (12 children)

SIXERS IN 7. HARDEN LEGACY GAME. LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO

also r/nba don’t be racist or ableist in the comments challenge (impossible)

[–]SunsDeAndre_ROY_Ayton 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Was he in game 6 or nah

[–]76ersProfessor_Finn[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah he wasn’t there!

[–]KingsMaverick916 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It definitely was a legacy game. Embiid too. Pretty much exactly what we all thought would happen 😆

[–]PointlessDelegation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, Scott Foster is officiating, so congrats to Philly lol

[–]TimberwolvesMister_Derper 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Am I the baddie for not knowing who this is?

[–]SunsKIDDKOI 3 points4 points  (1 child)

he got paralyzed in a shooting at his college in Michigan and is a big 76er fan

[–]Trail BlazersBenadrylBeer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn that’s horrible…these shooters should just kill themselves instead of ruining other lives.

Don’t jinx it

[–]bw4393 5 points6 points  (0 children)

[–]maaseru 4 points5 points  (1 child)

I wonder if ESPN does some slander like "Sixers are 1-3 when they play in front of John Hao"

[–]pyn209 6 points7 points  (3 children)

Who's that

[–]PistonsanonMLMhater 26 points27 points  (2 children)

John Hao, one of the survivors of the shooting on Michigan State's campus back in February

[–]Lakersdeadlyprincehk 9 points10 points  (1 child)

For additional context Harden has requested him to be at their games and I think he's gone off when John's been there so let's see

[–]beefcake1993 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an MSU grad the wound is still fresh but all of this happening has been such a comfort. It’s heart warming to see something incredible come from something so truly awful

Imagine being flown to Boston just to watch a historic choke job by your favorite player

[–][NBA] Wang ZhizhiRedditAdminsGulpCum 3 points4 points  (3 children)

Shame he's going to have to watch Harden choke in front of him. Hasn't he been though enough

[–]HarryDreamtItAll 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Hao’s halftime pep talk gonna shift the series

[–][NBA] Wang ZhizhiRedditAdminsGulpCum 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Shift the series into Cancun mode for Philly

[–]HarryDreamtItAll 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Philly flatlined since halftime 👻👻 dang maybe you were right

[–]Knicksmattbrianjess 4 points5 points  (3 children)

He’s getting awful things yelled at him in Boston. Just so everyone can prepare themselves

[–]Lakersthedonjefron69 2 points3 points  (2 children)

There’s no shot

[–]Knicksmattbrianjess 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Of course. What was I thinking. The crowd in Boston is so polite

[–]Lakersthedonjefron69 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I just can’t even believe Boston would do that

[–]WarriorsLegndarystig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not only is he crippled but now he’s scarred.

[–]CelticsSon_of_Atreus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This guy has seen a lot of bad shooting during his time in the states.

[–]poppinfresco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Philly brought him to three games, they lost two. That’s just cruel, how many mass shootings does he have to endure?

[–]EntertainmentWarm774 -5 points-4 points  (2 children)

Athletes nowadays are petty af. They really buy into all this bulletin board and good luck charm crap as if they shouldn’t already be more than motivated enough to try to win a playoff game and especially a game 7 in the playoffs. But some players really live for all that "bulletin board" and “good luck charm” stuff in order to inspire them to play better each game, and Harden is certainly one of them.

[–]76ersProfessor_Finn[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Harden genuinely cares about Hao’s wellbeing and is doing a ton to support him. The fans are the ones saying he’s a good luck charm
