Michael Carter-Williams balled out during his rookie season with the Philadelphia 76ers in 2013-14, winning Rookie of the Year honors — but the now-Chicago Bulls point guard was being showered with thanks from fans of the City of Brotherly Love over Twitter for no apparent reason.

The Sixers are only hours away from letting the ink dry in the deal with the Boston Celtics — making MCW one of the many components aiding to the imminent selection of Washington standout Markelle Fultz.
