The Sixers' season reaches a new low as Marreese Speights recieves MVP chants

The Sixers lost back-to-back games by 40 points, and their domination was punctuated by "MVP" chants from the Oracle Arena crowd for Marreese Speights.

It is safe to say that Speights has never been on the receiving end of an MVP chant during his professional career, and he apparently found it funny.

"That was so funny. I started laughing," he told the Associated Press.

Funny is one way to look at it.

The Sixers have been giving up season, and even career high performances all season, but it's a little more salty coming from an ex-Sixer.

You may remember Speights from being mostly mediocre during his stint with the Sixers, which probably lasted longer than it should have. He was on the squad from 2008-2011 before being traded away for nothing a couple second-rounders.

At the time of the draft, which I vividly remember watching from the guest bedroom of my Uncle's Atlantic City spot, I was disappointed that the Sixers selected Speights over DeAndre Jordan, who was selected immediately afterwards.

If only I had known that Speights would be the recipient of MVP chants down the road.

No but really, what could better exemplify the Sixers' struggles than Most Valuable Player chants for a dude that is somewhat surprisingly still in the league. Ouch. See for yourself:
