The Rights to Ricky Sanchez is a podcast hosted by Spike Eskin and Michael Levin that is mostly about Sixers (76ers) basketball.
Episodes
The Sixers rallied for a win in Memphis over the Grizzlies in a signature VJ Edgecombe performance. Embiid looked the most spry he has in years in the team's first win with Maxey, Embiid and Paul George all active. Then we relive the Lottery Party moment at Franklin Music Hall when we got the #3 pick, and put the APB out for a Ricky listener on an Amtrak train who stole a seat. Happy 2026, we love you.
The Sixers started their road trip with a loss in Chicago. We talk about Embiid's success on offense but deficiencies on defense and how the team looks with and without him. Then we talk about everyone else in the game, who largely sucked. Mike suggests a new plan for backup point guard, a listener suggests a Michael Porter Jr trade, and relationship advice returns with some gift giving and receiving advice.
The Sixers showed up and played their worst game of the season against the Nets. Mike threw up the entire podcast to celebrate. Then we talk about Jared McCain's progress, Ben Simmons buying a competitive fishing team, how much credit Nick Nurse gets for the development of the young players, and a listener thinks Adam Silver will be in the Epstein files.

The Sixers won back to back games over the Knicks and the Mavericks, both in exciting fashion. We talk about how great Maxey looked, the evolution of VJ Edgecombe, the surprise of Dominick Barlow, Andre Drummond's corner threes, and a step forward for Jared McCain.

We're gliding through the NBA Cup break with a talk about whether you're buying or selling your stock in Jared McCain and what your worry level should be about his play so far this season. Then we dive into the NBA Referees official Twitter account going after Sixers color guy Alaa Abdelnaby regarding the obvious backcourt violation they missed, as Spike turns into a ref guy, then discuss a listener idea for an Embiid for K...
The minute we start talking about the end of the Joel Embiid era, he returns with a classic 39-9 Embiid performance against the Pacers. We discuss the performance, how to compartmentalize it, as well as great showings from Paul George and VJ Edgecombe. Then we discuss Jared McCain's limited minutes, and return to Platonic Relationship Advice.

Tyrese Maxey has taken another leap, and now the team must act soon in addressing the Joel Embiid and Paul George situations. We talk about the options and what the best path might be. Then we discuss Jared McCain's minutes or lack thereof, whether Chris Ryan should be banned, Mike gives an update on his rec league basketball team, and we give some platonic relationship advice.
Joel couldn’t land in water if he was dumped off a Carnival cruise. LeBron was LeBron. Mike is joined by Chris Ryan to discuss the brutal loss against the Lakers.

There was a huge lead against the Warriors, the Sixers blew it, but a VJ putback and a Maxey chase down block saved the day. We talk about the win, the Sixers two-way all stars, and just trying to enjoy the games. Then we talk about the Giannis situation and a potential Sixers trade, the Sixers getting fined $100,000, and Ben Simmons' Instagram comment that he'd play in Philly for free.
The Sixers lost a heartbreaker to the Hawks in double overtime in the return of Joel Embiid and VJ Edgecombe. We talk about Maxey's great night, the return of Edgecombe, and good performances from Grimes and Barlow. Then we talk about the frustrating "will he or won't be play" Joel Embiid situation, and his disappointing rebounding and defense and what it means for their future. Then we meet Mike's new dog, ge...
Joel Embiid is out, Paul George is out again somehow, Oubre's hurt, Watford got hurt, Edgecombe is out, and still that game was pretty awful. At least Jared McCain seems to be putting it together. We talk about the loss, whether Brian Windhorst should be banned or celebrated, give some relationship advice and determined where in the hierarchy of US born players Tyrese Maxey is.
Laid back August vibes on the pod! We go deep into the mailbag and discuss whether the Sixers are out-performing expectations, what the the best center would look like in a post-Embiid world, get to relationship advice, and talk about whether the Sixers are finally smart when it comes to injuries.

It wasn't fun, but the Sixers beat the Celtics behind a heater from Justin Edwards and a put-back from Kelly Oubre. We talk about the win that gets the Sixers to 7-4. Then we discuss Joel Embiid's knee soreness, Paul George's potential return (LOL), the Mavericks firing Nico Harrison, and the NBA's ridiculous new All-Star Game format.

Trendon Watford had a triple double against the Raptors and did everything we always wanted Ben Simmons to do, Embiid even compared the two. We talk about his arrival, Embiid's continued improvement, and Maxey's continued excellence. We also declare Oubre untradeable for tax purposes. Then we discuss PG and Barlow's continued absences, Meow Mix getting bullied, and then Yaron Weitzman joins us to talk about his new book...
