Immediately after being released from prison on bond, a freshly freed Meek Mill went straight to the 76ers home playoff game with Kevin Hart and the team’s co-owner, Michael Rubin.
The good vibes made us reminisce back to one of Meek’s many meme-worthy moments: His viral clip off the trampoline in the Sixers’ tunnel.

Rubin and Hart picked Meek up from prison, and the MC rang the ceremonial opening bell in new gear and a fresh cut.
Hit the jump for a recap of Meek’s release and the historic win he helped inspire for the 76ers.
Kevin Hart was the first to break the news about Meek’s release, via Instagram.
Hart visited Meek earlier today and posted on Instagram to break the news that Meek would soon be free.
Tennessee courts have since revoked Travis Reinking’s bail. Isn’t it amazing to think that Reinking can trespass at the White House and murder four people within the same year and get bail, while Meek is considered a danger to society for popping a wheelie.
According to NY Times writer Daniel Victor, Meek will be at the game tonight to ring the ceremonial first bell.
As @EXavierPope pointed out on Twitter, “Meek Free! Now free the millions of unknown black and brown men being held behind bars for non violent minor drug offenses, the wrongfully accused, the unfairly sentenced in their rightful time, and the those overburdened by excessive bail.“
Michael Rubin, the co-owner of the Philadelphia 76ers, posted a photo of Meek on the way to tonight’s elimination game against the Miami Heat.
Hit the jump to see Meek ring the Liberty Bell just before the team takes the court to his hit “Like A Boss.”
Watch the Sixer’s run out of the tunnel to Meek’s first big hit, and see Joel Embiid pick up Kevin Hart like he’s a small child after the win.

After the W, future Hall Of Famer Dwayne Wade gave some high praise to the young team, saying, “This is he future of the NBA.”
In the locker room, Sixers’ coach Brett Brown got emotional as he addressed his young team after the win.
The Sixers will face the winner of the Celtics and Bucks first round match-up next.
