NBC is bringing back the nostalgia with a '90s-themed broadcast of the Philadelphia 76ers' game against the San Antonio Spurs. The special event, 'Throwback Tuesday', will transport viewers back to the era when Michael Jordan and NBC were the undisputed kings of the court. Sports announcer Bob Costas, alongside analysts Mike Fratello and Doug Collins, will bring the retro feel to life with play-by-play commentary and grainy highlights. But here's where it gets controversial... The Sixers, led by rookie Jerry Stackhouse, had a disappointing 1995-96 season with only 18 wins. However, this allowed them to secure lottery pick Allen Iverson, who went on to become a star. Fast forward to today, and the Sixers face a different challenge. With Paul George suspended and Joel Embiid sidelined with an oblique strain, the team will rely on Tyrese Maxey, who is having a standout season, to guard Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs. If you're feeling nostalgic, tune in at 7pm for an hour-long edition of 'NBA Showtime' hosted by Hannah Storm. Tip-off is at 8pm at the Xfinity Mobile Arena, with tickets starting at $48. But will the Sixers' current struggles mirror their past? It's a question that could spark debate, so we invite you to share your thoughts in the comments. Do you think the Sixers can turn things around, or is it a case of history repeating itself?
