Can you spot what's wrong in the picture above, taken from NBA.com's official Philadelphia 76ers' roster? That's right! Ronald Roberts is not a real basketball player, and is instead the winner of the Sixers' "Get In The Game" promotion, in which Philadelphia-area fans are selected at random, signed to partially guaranteed contracts and forced into action against the Milwaukee Bucks during depressing January losses!

Also there is a picture, at top left, of Bo Outlaw, who is 43 years old and hasn't played in the NBA since the '07-08 season. Bo Outlaw is not on the Philadelphia 76ers.

I always assumed Bo was Travis' nickname.

I love Marv more than life itself and usually at some point deep in the season I start talking like him

The best part of him doing jets games has been his diplomatic phrasing around the crumbling geno smith

i have a lasting memory of watching a playoff game in the early aughts where marv was just back from his time off from that sexual assault charge and doing the game with Bill Walton and they had been snippy with each other all game until Walton said something about how a player charged with a foul "just took a big bite out of him, really let him have it" and then there was basically no play-by-play and no commentary through the free throws, pretty clearly the mics were intentionally shut off. And about thirty or forty seconds later, they started talking again but bill and marv didn't really respond to one another for the rest of the game. i'm pretty sure they didn't share the booth again after that year. I sometimes try to imagine what the conversation was when the mics were off.
