18 questions you've always wanted to ask a Philadelphia 76ers player! | V.J. Edgecombe NBA Unpacked

Fifteen uploads went up on Sky Sports this week. Most of them belonged to a single Saturday night at Old Trafford, where Wakefield Trinity beat Warrington Wolves to win the Super League Grand Final for the first time. As we reported here, that night came with Sir Kevin Sinfield carrying the trophy and match ball in after seven ultra-marathons in seven days for Motor Neurone Disease. His arrival is still the most watched upload of the week, edging out the match highlights.

Under the Sinfield clip, viewers keep pointing out a family detail. His son Jack is a Wakefield player, he is among the voices in the post-match reaction video, and he now owns a winner's medal. Others talk about the knighthood, and about a man who is getting people who never watched rugby league to tune in.

The party kept going after the weekend. The Bench took Jenna, Jon and Sam into the dressing room, where Tom Johnstone was celebrating the Rob Burrow Award, and a short of owner Matt Ellis celebrating with the fans followed.

The real mover, though, came from another sport. On its first day, the NBA Unpacked episode with V.J. Edgecombe drew under 7,000 views, about what any newer upload here might expect. Three days later it is past 40,000 and drawing more views each day than anything else on the channel. The Philadelphia 76ers guard answers the questions a newcomer to basketball might ask: can every player dunk, what gets said in timeouts, and what it is like to play on Christmas Day.

Overall the channel ran at about its usual pace and added roughly a thousand subscribers. Among its golf, cycling and other sports neighbors, GCN Racing is the one running far above its usual pace, and RIP Disc Golf still draws the biggest crowd even in a slower stretch. Sky Sports sits in the middle of the group.
