The Sam Hinkie era ended with 76ers fans chanting ‘MVP’ for Carl Landry
Never send to know for whom the Process trusts; it trusts for thee.
Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports
With a minute remaining in the Sixers’ 107-93 win over the Pelicans on Tuesday, Carl Landry took the free throw line -- only to be serenaded by calls of “MVP!”
Landry did have a good night -- 22 points and going 9-of-10 -- on what turned out to be the final evening of the Sam Hinkie era/Process, but uh, well. News of Hinkie’s departure -- and his 13-page resignation letter -- broke the next day.
Fans were nonplussed.

Landry, for his part, was bemused.
Landry on MVP chants: "I was like, ‘What? MVP? Me?’ It was funny. It definitely put a smile on my face and it makes me feel good."

Brett Brown pointed out that Landry was, strictly speaking, the MVP.
