Meek Mill was thrilled following the Philadelphia 76ers victory over the Los Angeles Lakers Thursday night (Jan.27).
The 76ers defeated the Lebron James-less Lakers handily 105-87 despite an āoff nightā from all-star center Joel Embiid who finished the game with 26 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists. Philly native Meek Mill was so pumped that he decided to crash a 76ers press conference after his team got the W.
āTonight is a Philadelphia 6ixers night,ā the āIma Bossā rapper said as he jumped in front of the microphone per the Associated Press. āShoutout to the 6ixers, you guys. Good win!,ā he stated as he quickly exited stage left.
Anthony Davis gave it his all, but it wasnāt enough as the 76ers proved to be too much for the Lakers to handle. The Lakeshow headed into the game without James, who was scratched ahead of tipoff due to a sore knee. After the game, Embiid told the press he āwas not very goodā and thanked his teammates for picking up the slack.
Meek Millyās presence at the game comes the day after 76ersā managing partner Josh Harris and his wife Marjorie Harris made a six-figure donation to Mills, Michael Rubin, and JAY-Zās nonprofit, the REFORM Alliance the Philly Voice reported. The REFORM Alliance did not release details about the exact amount donated by the couple, but the funds will go towards the nonprofitās ongoing commitment to criminal justice reform.
Rubin thanked Harris and his wife for the charitable gesture saying it would translate to āmore people moving from a failed system to one that prioritizes community safety.ā
