About Philadelphia 76ers

The original Philadelphia 76ers were neither in Philadelphia nor called the 76ers. But the team did begin in a northeastern city and did have a patriotic name, the Syracuse Nationals. The Nats had been in the NBA since the league's first year of existence and came to the City of Brotherly Love in 1963, just after the Warriors had abandoned Philadelphia for San Francisco. Thus began the Philadelphia 76ers, an organization that has featured one of the best NBA teams ever to swagger onto the court (68-13 in 1966-67) and one of the worst to be blown off it (9-73 in 1972-73).

The three-year fight for survival between the NBL and the BAA ended when the two leagues merged for the 1949-50 season. Six franchises from the NBL, including Syracuse, were brought into the BAA for the 1949-50 season, and the new league became the National Basketball Association. (Philadelphia's heritage in the new league is worth noting: the Philadelphia Warriors were one of 11 charter members of the BAA and were in the original NBA.)

In the spring of 1963, Irv Kosloff and Ike Richman teamed to buy the Syracuse Nationals and moved the team to Philadelphia as the 76ers. Despite the changes, the new Philadelphia 76ers didn't look all that different on the court. Schayes spent the season, his last, as player-coach. In the Eastern Division Finals of 1967, Wilt Chamberlain scored 32 points against Bill Russell in a Game 1 win, and the Philadelphia surprised the Celtics with a 107-102 Game 2 victory at Boston. The teams split the next two before the 76ers exploded for 140 points to win Game 5 and the series, advancing to the NBA Finals and ending the Celtics' hopes for a ninth straight title. 

76ers overwhelmed the San Francisco Warriors in six games to take the crown. That 76ers team has since been recognized as one of the greatest ever. As part of the NBA's 35th-anniversary celebration in 1980, the 1966-67 76ers were voted the best team in NBA history. Cunningham, Guokas, and Costello each would go on to coach in the league while Chamberlain piloted a team for one season in the ABA.

Just as quickly as they had fallen from grace, the Philadelphia 76ers ascended. Fitz Eugene Dixon bought the club in May 1976 and soon gave Philadelphia a reputation as a team built on dollars. Dixon opened the vault immediately, paying $6 million for Julius "Dr. J" Erving ($3 million to the ABA New Jersey Nets and $3 million to Erving's bank account) prior to the 1976-77 season. 

Erving's contributions to professional basketball were incomparable. By expanding on the high-flying, creative game originally made popular by Connie Hawkins (and later taken to new heights by Michael Jordan), he helped develop the sport's acrobatic aesthetics and, in turn, its enormous success. Erving's on-court elegance was matched by his off-court eloquence.

Along the way such figures as Wilt Chamberlain, Julius Erving, Moses Malone, and Charles Barkley have registered some of their finest seasons in a Philadelphia 76ers uniform. Other notables, such as Hal Greer, Billy Cunningham and Maurice Cheeks, have earned their reputations with the team as well. Philadelphia, one of the country's great basketball cities, and its 76ers are an important part of the league's history and of its future.
