does not mean I'm anti-police. It means I'm anti police shooting unarmed Black men seven times in the back. It means I'm anti police allowing a white murderer to walk home, then blaming the victims. If you're anti that too, we need your voices now more than ever.
Sixers fans, I don’t know where to start and I hope this never ends. Thank you for a wildly fun first season. I know it was a change in so many ways and you still gave this kid a shot. It was an honor and a pleasure. Can’t wait for season two, but first, to South Beach we go!!!
I'm here because of all the women who've come before me, who had it much harder than me, who proved we deserve a shot.
I look forward to earning the respect and trust of a phenomenal city and fanbase one call and game at a time.
Hey Philly, LFG!!!
#HereTheyCome
The new voice of NBC Sports Philadelphia's Sixers broadcast booth has arrived! Sixers fans, give a warm welcome to Kate Scott, our new play-by-play broadcaster 👋
I know yesterday was a gut punch, but I want to remind y’all the Sixers beat Miami sans Joel + James in Mar. Beat Memphis without Jo in Jan. Led GSW without Jo at the half in Nov. It won’t be easy. In fact, it’s gonna be really, really hard, but this team fights, man. LFG SIXERS!
First one in the books! Thank you ALL for the support. I’ve felt it since the announcement and it only seemed to get louder tonight. (Which happens never, so seriously, y’all rock.) Whatdya say we take another step together Monday night? Little by little, baby. Let’s Go Sixers.
Hard to put into words how much I’m loving being here, getting to know this amazing city and all of you. Thank you for giving me a chance. Bring on the Lakers, baby!!!
Feels like the right time to reiterate that we're living through year two of a massive global trauma that's impacted all of us in ways we can't even see yet. So, be kind to yourself. Be kind to others. Life is so much right now for everyone. Let's take care of each other.
They left out a fairly important word …
New *PRESEASON announcer. 😉
Incredibly excited to spend August with the squad in Seattle! And incredibly excited to then come back home to Philly to prep for season three with the Sixers.

Scott is the only woman to have done play-by-play for the NFL, NHL, NBA, College Football, and the Olympics 👏
No one else can bring to this earth what you bring. You are special. You are needed. You are amazing, even if you don't feel any of that right now. It's okay to not be okay. Please don't go. There's help. And if you love someone and are worried about them, reach out. Please.
Alright, the honey bun was a bad starting point blowback was intense, but I took your constructive criticism to heart because I know it came from a caring place and I’m always looking to improve. So, Tastykake take two. How’d I do this time? 😜
I know very few of you are in the mood to look for bright spots tonight, but here’s one. Look how much Tyrese Maxey cares. He’s absolutely gutted. Taking responsibility for not being good enough the last two. Think of how far he came this season. So glad he’s ours.

Depression and anxiety are real. Panic attacks are real. You're not weak for experiencing them. You are HUMAN.
Asking for help is not a sign of weakness. It's the hardest thing I've ever done. Let your friends and family in.

I truly have no idea how I got to be the luckiest person in the world and take the baton from this guy, but I hope I never figure it out! A legend in every sense of the word. Love ya, Zoo! Onward!
#HereTheyCome
Parents first NBA game. Thanks for sacrificing vacations, nights on the town, and so much more to pay for the travel sports that shaped me and for always telling me I could do anything I set my mind to. Not here without you. I love you.

sure is tall, huh mama? 🤣❤️🤟
WE ARE DOING THIS, SIXERS FANS.

STAY WITH ME. WE ARE DOING THIS.
#ForTheLoveOfPhilly
Didn't cross paths with Ben, but wanted to say thank you to Seth and Andre for being so welcoming and kind to this new kid. Will be rooting for those two every time they're NOT playing our Sixers!
In a span of about 15 minutes,
@TyreseMaxey
hit us with 3 different off-the-charts wholesome moments.

@katetscott
had some technical difficulties:
A bunch of you have checked in recently. So kind, thank you. ❤️ All is well. Just put down the phone for a bit to look up, breathe, and enjoy my people. Back soon. Until then, take care of you and yours and soak up every second of this magical life that you can, okay? Okay! 😘
Gotta brag on
@alaatweets
for a sec because he’s legit THE BEST. Brought me his fave hoagie (and pasta salad for postgame) before our debut, then shows up with this last night. Said he figured Thursday was a blur and wanted to make sure I remembered it. Love you, brother!
Just wanna say a huge THANK YOU to Sixers fans, Philly folks, everyone who's reached out since I RT'd Mina the other day. As I said in that thread, I didn't share for praise (but again, thank you) it just feels nice to let you all behind the curtain from time to time.
Anxiety and depression - like all other sickness and disease - don’t care what you do or who you are. They impact us all. Thanks for speaking up and taking care of you, Lane. It’s okay to not be okay. It’s okay to ask for help, just like we do when we break bones and tear ACLs.
Add me to the injury report. Out with a non-COVID illness. Don’t want to get Alaa or anyone else sick, so I’m frustratingly watching this one from the hotel. Hoping to be back for Friday’s broadcast in New Orleans. Stay healthy and Go Sixers!!!
A dear friend’s water broke this morning back in Oakland. She texted at 430a PT, knowing I was up:
“Little man needed to be in the outside world to hear Kate's big debut!!!!!”
Guess
#HereTheyCome
means even more today! 😜 Chat soon, all!
Say thank you often. Say I love you more. Appreciate the moment, the air, the sun. The rain, the tough times, the hard. There will always be more to do. Try not to lose sight of how far you’ve come. To making it through another year and the adventures that lie ahead. 🥃❤️
A carrot for my fellow grinders. Called my first game in 2011. Called my first game at Madison Square Garden last night. One rep, one game, one day at a time. Be relentlessly self critical and consistently reach out to your producers for critique as well. Little by little. 👊
I know I've only been here a month, but dang it, Philly, I'm falling hard.
Thanks for doing such a wonderful job sharing my story, Jess! Onward to OKC!
She played 4 sports, did the morning announcements and called high school football games when an advisor suggested she go into broadcasting. Now she's making history as the 1st woman to do play-by-play for the Sixers.

This is West Philly native + longtime Heat usher, Burlie Hall. I was handing out stickers before Game 2 + he asked for one. I responded, “Why you want a

sticker?” He flashed open his jacket and pulled out his phone. Snuck in a rally towel for him tonight. LG!

Wake up. Breathe. Soak in how damn lucky you are to be healthy and alive. Get to work. Laugh. Seek joy. Work some more. Be kind. Give what you can. Work harder. Love. Listen. Be. Have a great Friday, friends. ❤️
Welp, the ‘vid finally got me, so I’m joining Doc in the protocols for a bit. Thankful to be vaxxed and boosted and experiencing only mild symptoms. Get your shots, mask up, stay hydrated and Go Sixers!!!

WE ARE DOING THIS TODAY, FRIENDS. Bad calls are gonna happen, bad bounces, bad shots, a bad few minutes … let it go and move on to the next play. Clap it out, stay positive, repeat after me, WE ARE DOING THIS. Positive energy all day, baby. LFG SIXERS!!!!
TNT’s got the game tonight, but couldn’t let this one come to my city without raising a glass!
To doing what you love and knocking down some doors along the way! So excited to start this journey with ya,

🧵 Devastated for my friends and former colleagues at the Pac-12 Network and Pac-12 Conference. It's easy to laugh at what's transpired, but let's not forget about the human capital. I'm not where I am or who I am today without my Pac-10 education and time at the Pac-12 Network.
