Speaking to reporters for the first time since his, Nelson thought back to how he got there. “It’s actually a surreal moment,” he said from the lobby of the Sixers’ training complex in Camden, New Jersey. “Six years ago when I started, I had no idea where this journey would take me. Credit to the organization for believing in me — and (Elton Brand) as well, pushing me to do more, get better at my job and just allowing me to grow. “I’ve always been a 76ers fan. I’ve always wanted to play for the organization. To do it for the home team gives me goosebumps, to be honest with you.” There’s now only one person above Nelson in the Sixers’ basketball operations department in He wanted to team up with Nelson, a Chester native, Saint Joseph’s legend and longtime NBA point guard. “I’m obviously very, very excited to have Jameer as my No. 2,” Gansey said. “That was kind of a sticking point, talking to (Sixers managing partner Josh Harris) andHe was someone I really wanted throughout the process. Jameer’s very, very well-respected throughout the league.” Nelson played his final professional game in 2018. (Billy Lange was hired), served as an in-studio college basketball analyst for CBS Sports Network, and considered his next steps. Brand pitched him on the front office route and Nelson started in 2020 with a duel role as Sixers scout and Delaware Blue Coats assistant general manager. “I’m going to be honest with you,” Nelson said, “I thought I was going to be a coach. But when you’re working in the front office, you get to coach in your own way. Starting as a scout and in the G League, being able to run a team in the minor leagues, it’s important. It was important for shaping me into the executive I am now. Collaborating with coaches and players, I quench my thirst for coaching there.” Once Nelson got rolling with the Sixers, he enjoyed the work and The location was meaningful, too. “In the past I’ve had opportunities other places,” Nelson said. “I wanted to be part of the solution here. The thing that matters most to me here is I’m home. My family is here. I’m a Sixers fan. My favorite basketball player of all time is Charles Barkley, and (Allen) Iverson and Kobe (Bryant) — people that played in this area. I feel like there are possibilities to help this organization move forward.” With the Gansey era underway and many major roster decisions to come—, potential trades — Nelson knows his voice will matter. “Just being able to learn and grow is the main focal point this year,” he said. “I think Gansey said it up there: You don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow. You don’t have to be ready, but you have to be prepared. “I look at it like that. Just be prepared for everything, figure things out and help make the right decisions.” Wed, 10 Jun 2026 16:55:33 GMT Noah Levick https://sportspyder.com/nba/philadelphia-76ers/articles/56906983 https://sportspyder.com/nba/philadelphia-76ers/articles/56906983 false false From Bernie Zilio at Page 6: Wu-Tang Clan will be performing during Wednesday’s NBA Finals Game 4, Page Six can exclusively reveal.
