76ers Troll Kings Coach George Karl with Snapchat Post

After beating the Sacramento Kings 114-107 on Friday night, the Philadelphia 76ers' social media staff had some fun at the expense of new Kings head coach George Karl.

Back in September, Karl, then an analyst for ESPN, had some not-so-kind words about the Sixers' ongoing rebuild, via Hoop 76:

"

What is happening in Philadelphia should not be called ‘tanking'; rather, it should be called ‘destruction.’ The Sixers are at least three to five years away from even being a respectful — respectful — NBA roster. They are worse than they were at the end of last year. Three of the five starters barely played last season. I understand building around talent, but people have to understand that sometimes young players just don’t develop. You put all your eggs in that basket, but if the kids don’t pan out, you’re sunk.

[…]

I think this roster has such a low level of talent they’ll be hard-pressed to win an NBA game. To put this team through another season of turmoil will be devastating. What is being built in Philadelphia is not the development of young players, but instead a culture of losing.

"

Six months later, the Sixers have 15 wins under their belt, the most recent of which came against Karl's own team. 

Here's guessing the legendary head coach would like a mea culpa on those comments.
