Kelly Oubre Jr. is a polarizing figure on and off the court. He was a lottery pick, expected to become a cornerstone of a franchise. Despite his potential, he has yet to find a long-term home for his talents. This season, he has signed with the Sixers, and the fans are already loving him. But his arrival in Philadelphia could be the last straw that broke the camel?s back.

James Harden wants to leave the 76ers. But Daryl Morey wants to retain him. Keeping Harden without his heart in the team is more trouble than it’s worth. Then why would Morey bring that one player who could jeopardize his plans?

Kelly Oubre Jr. is a fan favorite.

Kelly can be that on-ball defender who could be more than a handful for any guard. He is so clever that he can take advantage of any little leeway that the game offers. He watches like an eagle and waits for that momentary lapse of concentration to swipe the ball away from his opponent. Kelly is no slouch on offense, too. He can shoot, rim run, and be that impact player for any NBA team. That, and his style and looks, make him a fan favorite wherever he plays. Kelly is very generous with his time for the fans, too.

The official Instagram account for the Sixers recently posted a picture of Kelly with a fan who’s been dying to get a picture clicked with him.

The fan in the picture is holding a placard that says, “Kelly Oubre Jr T$unami Can I get a PIC with you?“. Kelly obliged the fan and did the deed with everyone around the globe is appreciating. The Sixers posted this picture with the caption “Do Good”. Truly a dream come true for the fan!

James Harden and Kelly Oubre Jr. have a history. Not an on-court beef of any kind, but something personal. The new sixer is married to Harden?s ex-girlfriend. This could add a little more weight to the Harden-Sixers drama.

Will James Harden have his way?

If this were to remain consistent, the Sixers can hope to have a positive start to their season.
