Ladies and gentlemen, the sky has fallen. Hell has frozen over. Pluto is once again a planet. The Philadelphia 76ers have FINALLY won a game in the 2014-15 NBA season. Except, that’s not the most shocking thing to happen this week. No, the most shocking thing to happen this week in the NBA is that THE PHILADELPHIA 76ERS HAVE WON TWO GAMES IN THE REGULAR SEASON BEFORE CHRISTMAS!!

I know. I’m as surprised as the rest of you. That rag-tag group of should-be D-Leaguers banded together and got themselves a couple Ws. That can only mean one thing: all Sixers are once again eligible to be placed on the NBA Rookie Rankings.

In last week’s Rookie Rankings, I made the not-so-bold choice to not only (temporarily) cut the list down to four players instead of the usual five, but I decided that until the team wins a game, all Philadelphia players would be disqualified from the list. Apparently they got the message. I sure do know how to inspire. Watch out, Tony Robbins.

With Sixers players once again eligible, how does that shake things up?
