Neil Olshey had, after sixteen straight hours of driving, stopped at a motel somewhere in Colorado.

Read MoreJerami Grant All 75 Dunks Full Highlights (2015-16 Season Dunkilation)
Jerami Grant sat in a chair outside the office of 76ers GM Bryan Colangelo. The old GM, Sam Hinkie, had always allowed players to walk in if the door was open. Colangelo’s door was never open. Not only that, but he had a secretary. And the secretary had told Jerami that he had to wait…
