Evan Turner and Andre Iguodala Play the Dating Game on Jimmy Kimmel

Share

It's never too early in the NBA off-season for the 76ers to consider what needs to be improved upon for next year, and for the Sixers as any other team, chemistry is always an important concern. No doubt Andre Iguodala and Evan Turner, two key players on the team who struggled on occasion to congeal on the court at the same time, could use some work in that department. But just as important as getting the timing down on the court is making sure that the respect and trust is there off of it. And nowhere can the strength of that relationship be better tested better than on a fake game show held by a sarcastic late-night host.

'Dre and Evan represented the Sixers in a game of the "Team-Mating Game" on Jimmy Kimmel Live earlier this week, going up against LaMarcus Aldridge and Greg Oden of the Portland Trailblazers, in a spiritual rematch of the 1977 NBA Finals. The two Philly swingmen were quizzed on their knowledge of the other, on subjects ranging from their annoying habits, to their embarrassing on-court moments, to their taste in women. Over the course of the contest, we learned the following odd facts about the duo:

-Andre has an unhealthy obsession with Twizzlers

-Evan plays with his belly button too much in practice

-Andre has a bad habit of twisting people's words around

-Evan fancies himself a boob man, and everybody knows this

Ultimately, the two do show fairly good chemistry—up until the end, when the pair balk at chugging a ice cream soda together for fear of looking like their off-court chemistry is a little too good. Hey guys, nobody said that winning an NBA championship is easy. If that involves having to make googly eyes at each other over a tall fountain drink on occasion, that's just the price you're going to have to pay, isn't it?
