Philadelphia 76ers center Kyle O’Quinn took some time out of his day on Saturday to answer some questions on Twitter as part of the #NBATogether movement created by the league during the coronavirus pandemic.
The NBA recently launched “NBA Together,” a leaguewide, global community outreach and social engagement campaign to provide families, fans and the general public with the latest global health and safety information.
Players have been volunteering their time to interact with fans around the world as Justise Winslow, Eric Paschall and others have participated so far. O’Quinn answered a variety of questions on Saturday and even detailed his friendship with Sixers rookie Matisse Thybulle.
Life is good. I think me and him, you know I always credit us being four-year players in college. We kind of connect on that. I think a smile is just contagious to everybody, no matter what you’re going through. If somebody smiles, it rubs off a little bit.

O’Quinn and Thybulle each have outgoing personalities and it was likely a given that the two would eventually become good friends this season. They each joined the Sixers prior to this season and were each four-year college players, as O’Quinn mentioned, so they have had quite a bit to bond over.
