The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is a podcast that is hosted by Spike Eskin and Michael Levin and mostly, sort of about Sixers basketball.
'Trust The Process,' is a little phrase that we're all probably a little sick of and proud of at the same time.
When we look back at where it started (in this context at least), we can whittle it dow…
The season begins this week, and we look ahead and make our predictions for the 2016-17 Sixers. How long will Nerlens Noel be on the team? How much longer will everyone fight about it? How many games…
Joel Embiid really played a game! Then he played another one! And he looked good! We discuss Embiid's debut, his embracing of his new nickname, and how everyone else on the team looked in the first t…
Hey, here we are again! We discuss the news about Ben Simmons, make up scenarios, and help you get through it. Let us know if you find out who is helping us get through it.
We also talk about Nerlen…
Many asked us to post the audiobook version of Sam Hinkie's resignation letter separately. So here it is!

There is no theoretical physicist, acclaimed writer, or audiobook on this week's Ricky, just some riffing about the Sixers.
We talk about Bryan Colangelo's appearance on The Vertical Podcast, the ope…
It's been two weeks, so we have a lot to talk about. Also, it's the offseason, so we're committed to doing something pretty different or absurd in each podcast.
First, we discuss Sam Hinkie's Twitter…
Our offseason of intelligence soldiers on with Philadelphia native and Caltech Theoretical Physicist Sean Carroll.
We talk about what he thought of Hinkie's departure, Noel vs. Okafor, and what it's …
Hey, Spike here, I'm writing the intro to this one.
I've long said that Chuck Klosterman writes like I would want to write if I was smarter. He's my favorite writer of all time.
We were lucky enough…
Many people ask us, "when are you going to get over it," and the answer is always "never!" At the very least, it's "not yet."
Because it's August and there's not much else to discuss, on today's Rick…
We're so sorry, we were off, but it was Spike's fault.
It's undoubtedly the offseason. Not the "draft, summer league" sort of offseason, but the "check in on Eagles training camp, talk even more about Jahlil Okafor, celebrate the signing of Dion Waiters,…
Somehow, some way, Joel Embiid has managed to do things over the last two years to keep us hopeful and excited, even when he hasn't been able to play a game for the team. This week was no different. …
Dario Saric is officially a Sixer. We talk about what it means, and gloat in the glow of Sam Hinkie. Also, farewell to forever Sixer Chu Chu Maduabum.
Also, a tearful goodbye to Christian Wood, some …
Ben Simmons is really, actually a Sixer. Look at him dropping dimes and refusing to shoot. He's everything we hoped for. We talk about Simmons' performance, the 'rise' of Christian Wood, TJ McConnel…
In this episode, we talk about NBA Free-Agency, the signing of Jerryd Bayless and the Sixers activity, the decision to renew Hollis Thompson, but send Isaiah Canaan packing, the hiring of Jim O'Brie…
Now that we've had 60 hours to digest it, we revisit the draft and and to appropriately grade the job Bryan Colangelo has done.
We address the Sixers prospects in free-agency, and the (still) present…
A bittersweet draft, for sure. We got everything we wanted, Ben Simmons, Timothe Luwawu and Furkan Korkmaz. But we wish Sam Hinkie was here to have it with us.
We discuss the draft, the flurry of tra…
We discuss the new pictures and video of our savior Joel Embiid, figure out what teams would want Jahlil Okafor, and talk to NBA Scout Elan Vinokurov for some final thoughts on the NBA Draft.
Dario's maybe not coming! We might not have any more information than we did a week ago, but we've got to talk about the prospects of Dario Saric maybe not coming over this year.
We also take some qu…
