bad days and up times and
down times like you and I do,
and helping paint that more
holistic picture is what I love
doing. And so that didn’t stop
when the pandemic started.

That’s maybe the one thing
that didn’t stop, was being
able to help them tell their
stories. For a while there, we
were talking about, ‘OK, what
are the players doing during
shutdown?,’ because they’re
these larger-than-life charac-
ters, but they also had to be in
quarantine and spend a lot of
time alone and cope with that,
the way that everybody did.

so looking forward to getting

matthew.steinberg@opco.com What is it about Philadelphia
that you found unique among
all those different stops?
I appreciate the city for the
history, for the architecture,
but it’s mostly the people for
me. People in Philly are so
proud to be here. People from
Philly are proud to be from
here. And I feel like I’m slowly
becoming a part of this little
family that I really enjoy, really
love. Serving Investors in

This specific Sixers team has been such a
pleasure to work with and to present to the
public because they’re great players, and
they’ve had so much success. But their stories,
at least to me, are even more interesting.”

course, was no longer covering
basketball. I mean, we were
covering a game against the
Pistons, the game went well,
and then all of a sudden the
season stops. So that transition
was jarring. We really quickly
pivoted to sort of trying to
give Sixers fans a view into the
players lives, bring a little bit of
levity into a hard time, which
is what sports are supposed to
do, but couldn’t do during that
those first few months.

What’s next for you?
I’ve arrived where I’m at a lot
quicker than I thought I would.

So to borrow a Marc Zumoff
term, I am in no particular
hurry to be done with what I’m
doing right now. I love it. And
I’m looking forward to getting
to do it outside of the pandemic
restrictions that we’ve been
living under.

So, what’s next is continue
doing what I’m doing and try
to do it a whole lot better, more
dynamically. And then I hope to
stay in broadcast. I hope to stay
with basketball. So wherever
that takes me, I’ll be thrilled to
continue. Right now I’m really
happy with what I’m doing. And
it feels good to say that. l
What was your “Welcome to
Philadelphia” moment?
It sounds a little corny, but
my “Welcome to Philadelphia”
moment was my first playoff
game with the Sixers. I’ve been
privileged to watch a lot of
high-level basketball in the last jbernstein@jewishexponent.com;
10 years. And I’ve never felt 215-832-0740
