This is a story all about how / the Suns and the 76ers turned their Twitter chats upside-down / and if you'd like to take a minute just sit right there / so we can tell you how they social-media riffed on "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air." 

The Phoenix Suns playfully engaged the Philadelphia 76ers first on Tuesday, noting a glaring exemption from Philly's summer league team. Because not only is the Fresh Prince one of the City of Brotherly Love's most famous denizens ("west Philadelphia born and raised") -- he's royalty to boot: 

The Sixers, not to be outdone, gamely took the play (without losing character): 

The Suns got the ball back and took it coast to coast: 

Until the Sixers threw down this game-winning buzzer-beater with this uncanny side-by-side shot of Will Smith's Fresh Prince with 2013 draftee Nerlens Noel:

It was a slam dunk that even the Suns had to applaud: 

All in all, a fun Twitter pick-up game to keep fans entertained in the offseason. Can't wait for the Utah Jazzy Jeff to play next.
