About The Philadelphia 76ers
In 1964, the Philadelphia 76ers ticket buyers were treated to the teams newest arrival, the legendary Wilt “The Stilt” Chamberlin. During Chamberlin's first full year as a Philadelphia 76er, the team knocked the Boston Celtics off their 8 year reign as the Eastern Division Champions during the regular season. This was a great blow to the Celtics and a Philadelphia 76ers tickets became the hot ticket to have.
During the 1966/1967 season, the Philadelphia 76ers had a unbelievable season, starting with a 46-4 record then ending the season with the best record in league history at the time, 68-13. Wilt Chamberlin along with team mates Chet Walker and Wali Jones led their team into the Eastern Conference Finals, once again against the Boston Celtics. But the Celtics were an injured, weaker team this time around and the Sixers ticket holders were treated to a win by their home team in 5 games. During the NBA's 35th anniversary celebration, the Philadelphia 76ers were also voted the best team in league history.
The victory for the Philadelphia 76ers would be short lived though. In the 1972/1973 season, the bottom fell out of the team as they lost their first 15 games of the season. Philadelphia 76ers tickets were a joke when just a few months later, the team set a record with a 20 game losing streak in a single season. This season, the Philadelphia 76ers ticket holders saw only 9 wins with a losing season of 9-73, earning the team the nickname by the media as the “Nine and 73ers” Needless to say, there was going to be changes in coaching and leadership.
It wasn't until Charles Barkley's arrival in Philadelphia in 1984 that Sixers tickets were once again sought after tickets in the franchise. Barkley, for 8 seasons, brought life to the once dying team. The Philadelphia 76ers were once again part of the Eastern Conference Finals, but as history repeats itself, the Philadelphia 76ers lost to the Boston Celtics in 5 games. The following year the Philadelphia 76ers replaced their head coach and were led into the second round of the playoffs where they lost to the Milwaukee Bucks after 7 games.
The Sixers drafted a new point guard Jrue Holiday with their number 17 pick during the draft. Philadelphia 76ers have shown consistent improvement in their game and wins due in part to the hard work and dedication of improvement of guards Willle Green and Louis Willams along with Center Sam Dalembert. The Sixers also traded power forward Reggie Evans to the Toronto Raptors in return for a three point specialist, Jason Kapono. Kapono has won 3 consecutive shoot-out tournaments and will be a great asset to the Philadelphia 76ers making ticket holders and dedicated fans happier than ever.
