I'm really not that impressed with this statue, compared to the other statues of Philadelphia sports heroes. I think that the background effect that they used for the substitution of wind (I guess) looks kinda corny. They needed a statue like the Michael Jordan one in Chicago. I'm not impressed.
it's not the best looking statue, but still a fitting tribute to argueably the best man to ever play the game of basketball
