The Philadelphia 76ers franchise traces its roots all the way back to the inaugural season of the NBA in 1949, when they were known as the Syracuse Nationals. The Nationals entered the NBA as a powerhouse, making the playoffs each of the franchise’s first 22 seasons. The team made the finals in the league’s first season, but it wasn’t until 1955 that Dolph Schayes and Syracuse hung its first championship banner. Before the 1963-64 season the Naitonals moved to Philadelphia after the Warriors’ move out west. In its new, bigger market, the newly named 76ers wasted little time winning a championship. With star center Wilt Chamberlain returning to Philadelphia with the Sixers, the team won the championship for the second time in 1967. Philadelphia missed the playoffs for the first time in 1972, but it wouldn’t be long until the club found itself back in postseason play. After three losses in the NBA Finals in six seasons, the Sixers won their third title in 1983 with superstars Julius “Doctor J” Irving and Moses Malone. Since the start of the 1990s Philadelphia hasn’t been a truly elite team. Allen Iverson got the Sixers to the Finals in 2001, but the team hasn’t been a consistent post-season threat since the 1980s.
