Holding a 3-1 opening-round series lead against the Miami Heat, the Philadelphia 76ers are in good shape at the moment.

Game 5 on Tuesday could be a major turning point for the organization.

After years of rebuilding, Sixers fans everywhere will be able to enjoy a playoff series victory if the team comes out victorious.

If you take a look at Philadelphia’s roster, a few things are obvious. First, they are led by All-Star center Joel Embiid and sensational rookie Ben Simmons. They might be the best young duo in the entire NBA.

Secondly, the team is very diverse.

In fact, the team’s top six leading playoff scorers were born in six different countries.

Simmons is from Australia, Dario Saric is Croatian, Embiid hails from Cameroon, JJ Redick is American, Marco Belinelli is Italian and Ersan Ilyasova is Turkish.

Despite their differences in nationalities, the 76ers have blended together nicely.

Coach Brett Brown has an appreciation for it, too. After spending two decades living overseas during his playing and coaching career, he understands that having a diverse team naturally leads to diverse skills and conversations.

"It's all basketball, but the true side of how people coach, speak, say, play the game is different," the Sixers coach stated, per the Associated Press. "And that collection now that I have with everybody is like is a melting pot of all peoples experiences. That equals a team. I mean, I love it. I love the geo-political conversations. I love that diversity on the court, off the court. I enjoy it.”

Despite the fact that the Sixers’ top players don’t share birth places, they all speak the language of basketball.

"This global instinct and sort of global feeling that we have in Philadelphia interests me very much," Brown said. "I embrace it. For me, it's another layer of why I enjoy coaching this team.”

Simmons noticed that some of his teammates have brought European elements to the NBA. "A lot of the guys growing up overseas, we have that European style of play," Simmons said. "It's a lot different than the U.S. style.”

Belinelli also noted that speaking different languages does not create any issues off the court for the team, which appears to be very cohesive.

"My English isn't that good, Dario's isn't that good, but we try to be a great group," Belinelli noted. "And we are. We go to dinner all together, we spend a lot of time together in the locker room after practice. It's just part of the work, I think. Having all these guys from different parts of the world, it's a good thing."

It will be thrilling to find out if Philadelphia’s global approach leads to continued playoff success this year.
