Perfectly Awful: The Philadelphia 76ers' Horrendous and Hilarious 1972-1973 SeasonDuring the 1972 1973 basketball season, the Philadelphia 76ers were not just a bad team; they were fantastically awful. Doomed from the start after losing their leading scorer and rebounder, Billy Cunningham, as well as head coach Jack Ramsay, they lost twenty one of their first twenty three games. A Philadelphia newspaper began calling them the Seventy Sickers, and they duly lost their last thirteen games on their way to a not yet broken record of
During the 1972-1973 basketball season, the Philadelphia 76ers were not just a bad team; they were fantastically awful. Doomed from the start after losing their leading scorer and rebounder, Billy Cunningham, as well as head coach Jack Ramsay, they lost twenty-one of their first twenty-three games. A Philadelphia newspaper began calling them the Seventy Sickers, and they duly lost their last thirteen games on their way to a not-yet-broken record of nine wins and seventy-three losses.Charley Rosen recaptures the futility of that season through the firsthand accounts of players, participants, and observers. Although the team was uniformly bad, there were still many memorable moments, and the lore surrounding the team is legendary. Once, when head coach Roy Rubin tried to substitute John Q. Trapp out of a game, Trapp refused and told Rubin to look behind the team's bench, whereby one of Trapp's friends supposedly opened his jacket to show his handgun. With only four wins at the All-Star break, Rubin was fired and replaced by player-coach Kevin Loughery.
In addition to chronicling the 76ers' woes, Perfectly Awful also captures the drama, culture, and attitude of the NBA in an era when many white fans believed that the league had too many black players.

Great travel jewelry case
Color: Black
Great colors. Good size. Easy to pack and carry. Fits a good amount of jewelry. It’s decent quality. I know there is better out there but for the value it’s great. It snaps close and I haven’t had mine accidentally come open at all. The inside is soft. My necklaces did get a little tangled inside but not too bad. I could have put them in there better. Very nice though.

Store it all!
Color: Pink
This is a compact, light weight, efficient, and sturdy/convenient way to securely store jewelry. The small compact case allows jewelry from earrings to necklaces to bracelets and rings to be all together without being tangled and/or on top of each other. I have more earrings than rings so I used the ring area to store the rest of my earrings. The tight clasp allows the lid to be fasten snuggly to the body of the case. The price was right considering what other stores were charging. I chose the pink case which is a very soft pink, as like the case, but there are other colors to choose from. The case is mobile and would stand strong in a carry on case or bag. I highly recommend this item if you are looking to organize and have your jewelry neatly and safely all in one place!

Cute and super convenient for travel
Color: Black
Really happy with this jewelry box overall. It’s compact, lightweight, and perfect for travel. The compartments are well designed for rings, earrings, and even long bracelets, which fit really nicely.
The only downside for me is the necklace section. When using multiple necklaces, they can get tangled, so it’s not the most practical part of the case. Other than that, it’s a great product for the price and looks very cute

Nice gift!
Color: Black
I got this as a gift for a coworker and it was cute compact and of good quality. I love the earring compartment for her because she always wears earrings and she travels, I figured it would be a great thing for her to have.
