Once they return, it’s possible A-list actor and rapper Smith could be in the stands and, ahem, Getting Iggy With It. Smith, who was not available for comment, is a Philadelphia native who attended Overbrook High School.

Turner posted on Twitter, “think it’s dope that the fresh prince is one of our new owners. Maybe willow can perform at halftime.”

Harris said a mutual connection was made once Smith expressed interested.

How about Smith’s 76ers vs. Jay-Z’s New Jersey Nets in the first Rapper’s Delight game?

The start of the season seems well down the road.

On Tuesday, it was all about the optimism and bright-eyed enthusiasm of a new era in Sixers history.

“We will be active, long-term owners,” Harris said.
