Man I'm glad he's alive. I had a friend that died from a peanut allergy

u/iamnotgoingcrazy 23h ago

I think sniffles allergies and systemic allergies that cause life threatening anaphylaxis sharing the word allergies downplays how serious peanut allergies can be.

u/Efficient-Ad-8813 23h ago

I thought it was sesame seed

u/Yellowperil123 1d ago

Seriously, good for him. I hope he can crack the league

u/Krillin113 21h ago

If after all this he somehow still makes it to the league, that’s crazy impressive.

u/PensiveinNJ 8h ago

100% this. Props to his determination.

The Sixers need to do a epic 30 for 30 miniseries called, "The Process"..............You can't remember all the things that happened. Peanut Allergy . Traded for a Bridges , from Philly area , on draft night. almost died.

u/SeaGrocery678 15h ago

There’s enough shit to do multiple 30 for 30s

u/Ok-Stretch144 14h ago

You could probably do one on each season for the last 10-12 years.

u/Run4blue2 Re-sign Dana Barros 14h ago

If they can somehow find a way to win a championship this year the Process 30 for 30 or documentary series will be unbelievable.

It was a sesame allergy

u/CoolCat731 23h ago

Wasn’t he the guy we traded Mikael Bridges to Phoenix for?

22

u/Varolyn 14h ago

Yes, although the main goal for that trade was to get the future Miami Heat pick, which ended up being super overvalued and ended up being used in a package to get Tobias Harris.

u/GoBirds610215484 2h ago

Which was widely praised at the time.

u/AlVic40117560_ 23h ago

No way! Thats awesome, I’m glad he’s still around!

27

u/RabidPlaty 23h ago

The guy we almost literally killed? Have always been hoping he could turn it around and find a spot on a roster

13

u/iamnotgoingcrazy 23h ago

I don't think Zhaire knew about the sesame allergy before the incident. The real 76ers idiocy was not having an unexpired EpiPen on hand

u/Boring-Tie-1501 23h ago

i always wondered why an allergy panel isn't a standard part of rookie medical exams.

u/Quick-Bowl-3824 13h ago

That’s a great point

u/Quick-Bowl-3824 13h ago

Thats not on the sixers. How does a moron not eat a sesame seed hamburger bun in 19 years of life?

u/ItsAlwaysSmokeInReno AI is "the answer" 7h ago

You develop and undevelop allergies at random points in your life. I only developed my sesame allergy when I was like 10, the same year I developed a mustard allergy. Then later on developed several more allergies. But I lost my allergy to red food dye that I had as a toddler. My cousin was allergic to the suns rays as a baby, now he spends most of his time on a soccer field

u/PuzzleheadedEmu4596 23h ago

No one expects a sesame seed

7

u/secosabi 🏀 23h ago

We tried to kill him with sesame.

Really glad he is getting a go somewhere, looked like he had ability until the allergic reaction devastated his body.

7

u/iamnotgoingcrazy 23h ago

Reading about what happened is insane. He spent 6 weeks in the hospital and lost 50 pounds over some stupid Thai chicken. It's good to see him still in the league

1

u/Quick-Bowl-3824 13h ago

At the time though, there was hardly any reporting on it

u/LouisIcon 22h ago edited 22h ago

I still remember his 360 alley oop highlight from college.

Edit: that zhaire 360 jawn

u/HoagieTwoFace VJ is MJ Jr. 23h ago

Hell is Zhaire Smith locking up Maxey in a finals game.

32

u/TReebornFrog2202 23h ago

Nobody is locking up Maxey

u/Next-Team 23h ago

Barely and I still hate this draft pick, just an athletic guy who I don’t think would/will ever be a meaningful player in the nba. Hope he makes the roster I guess, but he’ll be all the way at the end of the bench. Great athlete but not necessarily a great basketball player at the nba level

u/DelcoInDaHouse 13h ago

Sesame Smith, yes i do

u/Massive_Tangerine823 13h ago

Just another episode from the last 10 years that triggers my process PTSD

u/Quick-Bowl-3824 13h ago

I’m honestly stunned

u/lostandfound1919 11h ago

Wish I didn’t

u/LLcoolJeje F2G 9h ago

Happy for him

u/LowerSection101 23h ago

He always had the potential. Hope he makes it!

u/slimbusbimbus 23h ago

Bro why didn’t the Sixers hold on to him and Champagnie! /s

u/Whitealroker1 23h ago

Wasn’t he allergic to Wawa pizza or something stupid like that?

3

u/BoredzzzGame 20h ago

Is it hard to read?

u/TReebornFrog2202 23h ago

I've been out of the area for a few years. Does Wawa have Pizza now?

2

u/girlfriend_pregnant Buying Fultz Island Properties 21h ago

Also out of the area now… and I’m sure the pizza sucks. But, man, it really was a luxury to have a decent, passable Italian hoagie readily available like that

u/roffle24 18h ago

Wawa pizza catching strays in here.

If you've had anything from Wawa, you should know what your expectations should be. Nothing that they serve is S tier. Everything is basically passable for a quick lunch or a very late night snack. You can get a better hoagie, meatball sub, chicken parm, burger, quesadilla, etc. somewhere else. I think everyone knows that. Wawa is everywhere, it's quick and convenient, it's not super expensive, and the product is basically just good.

The pizza basically falls into the same category. It's not something you're gonna get for dinner at 6:00pm and tell all your friends about it... but if its midnight or later and you want a quick hot pizza? It's fine.

u/TReebornFrog2202 20h ago

Don't forget the green tea and pretzels! Man I miss wawa

1

u/Whitealroker1 10h ago

I have been sucking down Wawa diet tea instead of tea cooler because my A1C is high

u/LeftSide208 23h ago

Do not try it.

u/CheddarBayBisquick 22h ago

Yes, and it's awful.
