<v Speaker 1>three for Josh Richardson. Josh Richardson represents a lynchpin for

0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:36.080
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers, a key component in the club's supersize starting

0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:39.239
<v Speaker 1>lineup who can shoot and handle while also taking on

0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:43.240
<v Speaker 1>the opposition's top guard. Despite battling some injuries, he enjoyed

<v Speaker 1>hand jam. On this edition of Posted Up, Josh Richardson.

0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:01.440
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the first installment of Post It Up, a

0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:04.440
<v Speaker 1>mini series here on the broadcast checking it on seventy

0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:08.360
<v Speaker 1>Sixers players during the hiatus, with new episodes debuting multiple

0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:15.600
<v Speaker 1>times a week. In mid April, Quarantine finds Josh Richardson

0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:20.640
<v Speaker 1>in Miami, where it's an enviable eighty five degrees. After

0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:22.800
<v Speaker 1>a summer sign and trade sent the twenty six year

0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:25.160
<v Speaker 1>old from the Heat to the Sixers, he still kept

0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:28.399
<v Speaker 1>his South Florida home, and these days, when the ability

0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:31.520
<v Speaker 1>for professional athletes to get outdoors and stay active is

0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:34.240
<v Speaker 1>at a premium, that decision seems like it was a

0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:37.640
<v Speaker 1>pretty darn good moves in the back yard. I got

0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:39.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot of time back. I got a basketball goal

0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:42.200
<v Speaker 1>back there. I just shoot on to play horse, play

0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:45.640
<v Speaker 1>games and go down to the dock, may fish a

0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:50.639
<v Speaker 1>little bit, swam chill. Richardson doesn't consider himself a good fisher,

0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.880
<v Speaker 1>but when he's in Miami, he enjoys casting his lines.

0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:55.920
<v Speaker 1>When I'm down here, I do a little more just

0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:59.640
<v Speaker 1>because I can fish off my dot back. But it's cool.

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Start out here, man. They know what's up, all they

0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:05.640
<v Speaker 1>know to do. The past four years, Richardson was a

0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:08.640
<v Speaker 1>revelation for the Heat. He was selected tenth overall in

0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:12.120
<v Speaker 1>the second round of the twenty fifteen draft out of Tennessee.

0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Played a limited role in Miami his first season, but

0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:17.080
<v Speaker 1>by the time he left, he was the focal point

0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:19.239
<v Speaker 1>of the team's offense over the last four years in

0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:22.640
<v Speaker 1>the NBA. I'd attribute my growth in my progression just

0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:25.840
<v Speaker 1>to how I was kind of molded, you know, in college.

0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:27.799
<v Speaker 1>But I didn't come into college like a five star,

0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:29.480
<v Speaker 1>was like a two stars out of high school. So

0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:33.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, I had to work for everything at every level.

0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:36.160
<v Speaker 1>So I mean, coming here with these guys, you see

0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:38.359
<v Speaker 1>how you know, this whole this whole team, his whole

0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:41.639
<v Speaker 1>rosters full of guys had you know, progressed a lot

0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:44.840
<v Speaker 1>over their careers. Right off the bat, Richardson made an impact.

0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:47.480
<v Speaker 1>He started the season with the Sixers, scoring in double

0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:50.520
<v Speaker 1>figures in his first five games, and notably went for

0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:53.520
<v Speaker 1>twenty eight points in a homecoming appearance against the Oklahoma

0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:56.000
<v Speaker 1>City Thunder Josh for three outside but that it's good.

0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:59.959
<v Speaker 1>A dozen points for Josh Richardson in his hometown return

0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:04.520
<v Speaker 1>and the Sixers have tied the game. Then, about a

0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:07.920
<v Speaker 1>month into the season, Richardson delivered what remains arguably his

0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:13.720
<v Speaker 1>finest performance today Richardson for three He erupted for thirty

0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:16.440
<v Speaker 1>two points at the center against none other than his

0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:21.160
<v Speaker 1>old squad Josh Richardson, a season high, bedoubling his former

0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:24.880
<v Speaker 1>team and his first meeting against him tonight. Richardson missed

0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:27.720
<v Speaker 1>a few weeks around Thanksgiving with a hamstring injury. He

0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:30.720
<v Speaker 1>came back and got into another group, having a hand

0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:36.000
<v Speaker 1>in important wins against Okase, Boston, and Brooklyn. As Richardson

0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:38.400
<v Speaker 1>continued to make his way through his debut campaign with

0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:42.000
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers, he relished the emergence of an exciting plot twist.

0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:45.880
<v Speaker 1>Ben Simmons, once arrival when Richardson was with the Heat,

0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:50.560
<v Speaker 1>was helping advance Richardson's game Josh three ball shot near bang.

0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:54.120
<v Speaker 1>It's good Simmons with the dish and Josh Richardson for three.

0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:57.960
<v Speaker 1>He's not missed here and his return in Miami. It

0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:00.400
<v Speaker 1>was like interesting and weird to like be the same

0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:03.280
<v Speaker 1>locker room with everyone, But you know, once we got

0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:06.680
<v Speaker 1>to working together, it's almost like it makes it easier

0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:09.640
<v Speaker 1>on everybody else to play with him because he has

0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:12.640
<v Speaker 1>a gravity once he gets like driving downhill or he

0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:14.040
<v Speaker 1>gets a ball on the paint, he has a really

0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:17.400
<v Speaker 1>high gravity that like just pools a lot of other defenders,

0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:20.080
<v Speaker 1>So you just gotta make it work around him. Honestly,

0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:24.159
<v Speaker 1>another hamstring injury sideline Richardson in late January. He was

0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:26.760
<v Speaker 1>then diagnosed with a concussion at the beginning of March,

0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:29.600
<v Speaker 1>only to come back for the Sixers' final game before

0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:33.280
<v Speaker 1>the season was paused. That brings us back to the present.

0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:38.200
<v Speaker 1>What's Richardson up to. It's working out. He ordered waits

0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:40.600
<v Speaker 1>and bikes to his house. He's also reading and playing

0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:44.400
<v Speaker 1>video games. He says, his phone, xbox and get this,

0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:48.440
<v Speaker 1>a nine by eight foot bed among the things he

0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:52.479
<v Speaker 1>couldn't live without. In quarantine, Richardson's doing some binging. Two

0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:56.240
<v Speaker 1>of course, I washed locking key, I binged. I show

0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:59.080
<v Speaker 1>him like two Days. I love that shown that season

0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:02.279
<v Speaker 1>to come out. I watched so called A Hundred Humans.

0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:07.520
<v Speaker 1>It's hilarious, it's interesting. I liked it. I watched a

0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:14.120
<v Speaker 1>new Pokemon movie. Pokemon movie. Yeah, favorite character Gangar because

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:19.039
<v Speaker 1>he's dumb and he's kind of like terrifying at the

0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:22.120
<v Speaker 1>same time. So like, nobody would really mess with me,

0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:24.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, nobody wants to smoke. On the food front,

0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:26.640
<v Speaker 1>Richardson isn't doing a ton of cooking, but he has

0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:30.040
<v Speaker 1>been on a juice kick. My biggest legs and my

0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:35.560
<v Speaker 1>biggest maybe problem downfall. It's my juice collection. I drink

0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:39.360
<v Speaker 1>juice all day. I keep it organized. I don't. I

0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:41.840
<v Speaker 1>don't play around his favorite snack. I've been on a

0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:44.520
<v Speaker 1>bit of a health kick. My favorite foody eat under

0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:48.400
<v Speaker 1>quarantine is probably, I mean even a lot of seaweed chips.

0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:52.600
<v Speaker 1>It's so it's like it's just so easy to eat

0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:59.080
<v Speaker 1>and they're cheap. Juices are refreshing, and seaweed snacks are tasty.

0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:02.000
<v Speaker 1>But Richardson is missing the game and he's eager to

0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:04.320
<v Speaker 1>get to work. You can only chop it up with

0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:07.880
<v Speaker 1>the fellas so much on Zoomer FaceTime. I'm excited to

0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:11.240
<v Speaker 1>tell Ko that he's trash. I'm excited to be Joe

0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:16.040
<v Speaker 1>Ellen some shooting competitions like always. I'm excited to call

0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:18.120
<v Speaker 1>him and teach rook and telling no one likes him.

0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:22.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited to tell Tobias that he needs to edge up.

0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:28.320
<v Speaker 1>The hiatus has offered Richardson time to reflect. He was

0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:30.960
<v Speaker 1>widely credited for stepping up in the locker room, as

0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:32.960
<v Speaker 1>both he in the seventy six ers weathered ups and

0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:36.040
<v Speaker 1>downs before the extended break. I learned that I can

0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:39.039
<v Speaker 1>be a leader in like new situations. It was my

0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:41.479
<v Speaker 1>first time I'm really playing for a new team like that. Quickly,

0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:44.000
<v Speaker 1>So you know, I wasn't trying to like step on

0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:45.960
<v Speaker 1>anybody's toe. I'm not trying to step out of line.

0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:49.039
<v Speaker 1>Just knowing that I can put myself in a position

0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:51.599
<v Speaker 1>to be a leader, to be a voice for a

0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:54.919
<v Speaker 1>new situation and a new group of people is probably

0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:57.479
<v Speaker 1>a big thing, the biggest thing I learned at yes

0:06:57.640 --> 0:06:59.520
<v Speaker 1>while we up here in the Northeast, right out the

0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.640
<v Speaker 1>rain what are hopefully the final few cold fronts of spring,

0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Josh Richardson sounds like he's got a pretty good setup

0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:09.200
<v Speaker 1>a thousand miles or so south. But make no mistake,

0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:12.240
<v Speaker 1>the seventy sixers and all of you out there are

0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:15.240
<v Speaker 1>top of mind. I miss you guys. I can't wait

0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:18.560
<v Speaker 1>to get back, you know, into the Wells Fargo if

0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:22.040
<v Speaker 1>it happens this season. And you know, I'm still thinking

0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:24.160
<v Speaker 1>about you guys all the time. We just want to

0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:26.040
<v Speaker 1>get back in there. Are ina just like y'all do.
