I thought somebody would think I was —” the 81-year-old president said before trailing off.

PHILADELPHIA – There was a moment toward the end Friday night. The 76ers already had Game 3 in hand, and the Knicks were trying to make them sweat, even if just a little bit.

Brunson responded with a half-smile. Then he did an exaggerated on-the-way up fake – anyone could see he was mimicking Embiid’s signature move, even all the way up in the last row at Wells Fargo…
