One of the oldest clubs in the NBA, the Philadelphia 76ers were founded in 1946 and one of only eight franchises to survive in the first decade of the league. Established as the Syracuse Nationals of the National Basketball League, the Nationals would make the postseason in their first year. In 1949, the Nationals would join six other NBL teams in merging with the Basketball Association of America to form the National Basketball Association. The franchise would move to Philadelphia in 1963 and rename itself as the Philadelphia 76ers where they have remained ever since.
The Philadelphia 76ers have had success in the postseason from the beginning, making it to the first NBA Finals in 1950 as the Syracuse Nationals. The Nationals would meet the Minneapolis Lakers in the Finals but would lose in six games. The Nationals would win the club’s first NBA championship in 1955 with a win over the Fort Wayne Pistons that was won in the final seconds of Game Seven. After becoming the Philadelphia 76ers, the team would win its second title in 1967 with Wilt Chamberlain leading the 76ers past the Boston Celtics in the Division Finals, marking the first time in 11 years that the Celtics were not in the Finals, and then to a 4-2 series win over the San Francisco Warriors. The team would win one more championship in 1983 with Moses Malone and Julius Erving, taking the Sixers to a four-game sweep over the Los Angeles Lakers. The Sixers would return to the Finals one more time in 2001 with Allen Iverson leading Philadelphia in a matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers, who would win the championship over the 76ers in five games.

From 1976-1987, Julius Erving dazzled Philadelphia fans with his high-flying play above the rim and endeared himself to the city by bringing Philadelphia its third NBA championship. Dr. J was named the NBA’s Most Valuable Player in 1981 and earned three consecutive ABA Most Valuable Player awards from 1974 to 1976 during his time with the New York Nets. Erving made a total of 16 All-Star Games (11 NBA, 5 ABA). Erving ranks fourth among all 76ers in points scored with 18,364 points, fourth in assists with 3,224 dimes and third in steals with 1,508. Erving also leads the team in all-time blocks with 1,293.
One of the earliest stars of the NBA, Hal Greer, played for the Syracuse Nationals and Philadelphia 76ers from 1958 to 1973 and earned ten trips to the NBA All-Star team. Greer also helped lead the 76ers to the NBA championship in 1967. Greer is the all-time scoring leader for the Sixers with 21,586 points and second in assists with 4,540 dimes.
Younger fans will remember Allen Iverson, who played 14 years in the NBA and with the Sixers from 1996 to 2006 and again for the 2009-2010 season. Named the NBA Most Valuable Player in 2001, Iverson was named an NBA All-Star 11 times and made seven All-NBA Teams. Iverson led the league in scoring four times, steals three times and took the Sixers to their most recent Finals appearance in 2001.
