Team profile:

As an old team in the NBA, the Philadelphia 76ers didn't set its home in Philadelphia at the beginning of its construction, and didn't name it the 76ers, but they have a very patriotic name-Syracuse National Team. With the merger of NBL and ABB, the Syracuse national team formed by 1937 joined the NBA on 1949 and achieved quite good results. In the 14 NBA campaign before the name change, she reached the playoffs without exception 14 times, broke into the division and league finals many times, and won the 1 championship.

But it was not until 1963 moved to Philadelphia, the capital of basketball, that the team really ushered in the passionate years of NBA career.

The first player who injected passion into the 76ers was wilt chamberlain, who combined speed, height, strength and skill. Chamberlain is the first all-rounder in basketball history. He won seven NBA scoring titles and 1 1 rebounding titles in his entire basketball career, and still holds the highest scoring record of 100. After two years of running-in, this 76ers team finally ushered in its heyday at 1967. They reached the playoffs with a jaw-dropping regular season record (68- 13) and finally won the championship easily. At the celebration of the 35th anniversary of NBA held in 1980, this team was rated as the strongest team in NBA history.

Chamberlain was traded to Los Angeles on 1969, and the performance of the 76ers began to decline, even falling to 9 wins and 73 losses in the regular season of 1972-73. In the silence, the humble "Dr. J" Julius Erving "flew" to Philadelphia. He not only brought fascinating technology to Philadelphia, but also brought the 76ers back to the top teams. However, from the late 1970s to the early 1980s, 76 people led by Dr. J were blocked by Magic Johnson's Los Angeles Lakers and larry bird's Boston Celtics in the 1980 finals and 19865438 playoffs respectively. It wasn't until the season of 1982- 1983 that moses malone, a talented center, joined the NBA championship for the 76ers, and Malone himself won the MVP title in the regular season and finals.

In the following years, the champion aura never visited Philadelphia again, but the fighting spirit and passion were never far away from the 76ers. In the middle and late 1980s, charles barkley, a powerful and radiant man, took his team to the Atlanta Division and the Eastern Conference finals for many times. In the early 1990s, after Buckley's transfer, the 76ers experienced another difficult downturn. But in the late 1990s, 76ers finally ushered in the emergence of "recreational" allen iverson. This little man who dribbled like lightning and made a quick layup won the titles of rookie king, scoring king and stealing king one after another just after his debut, and the whole Philadelphia was also fascinated by it.

Since coach Larry Brown joined the team, the 76ers have undergone fundamental changes. Not only is the game more enjoyable, but the game results are also rising. 1999-2000 season, this unique team finally reached the NBA finals. Unfortunately and unexpectedly, they lost to the Lakers led by O 'Neal, but the 76ers also created an NBA best. A team won four awards at the same time-MVP (allen iverson), Best Coach Award (Larry Brown) and Best Defense.

Looking forward to the 2005-2006 season, it is not impossible for the 76ers to return to the NBA Finals as long as Iverson can get rid of the long-term predicament he suffered last season.
