About The Philadelphia 76ers
The 76ers are the oldest franchise in the NBA and started playing in Syracuse as the Nationals. Their basketball tickets then featured an early contender with NBA Hall of Famer Dolph Schayes. The early years of the franchise saw the club challenge the Minneapolis Lakers, the New York Knicker Boxers, and the Boston Celtics pretty regularly. The playoff tickets finally came through in 1955 when the team won the NBA Championship over the Fort Wayne Pistons.
The move to Philadelphia in 1963 came with a name change to the 76ers, and a new superstar, Wilt Chamberlain. Chamberlain was a player to behold and 76ers tickets saw the big man dominate the game scoring wise for years. By 1966 the team realized that it needed to play a team game to win the NBA Championship and assembled a roster with Chamberlain, Billy Cunningham, Hal Greer, Chet Walker, Lucius Jackson, and Wali Jones. 76er tickets that season watched as the team won a then record 68 games over the course of the regular season and won the franchises first NBA championship while in Philadelphia.
A fall from grace followed for the team, but soon enough Philadelphia 76ers tickets were going to be there for a contender. The team was built around ABA stars George McGinnis and Julius Erving. Season tickets always carried great promise, and the team made it to the NBA Finals in 1977, 1980, and 1982. The tea lost, but the talented rosters kept the fans hopes up.
In 1982 the Philadelphia 76ers had it all. They had Doctor J, Maurice Cheeks, Andrew Toney, Bobby Jones, and Moses Malone. They had defense and they had scoring. They had Philadelphia fans excited to buy Sixers tickets for the entire season. The team went 65-17 and breezed through the playoffs, sweeping the Los Angeles Lakers to win the NBA Championship.
Teams built around Charles Barkley and Allen Iverson have brought the Philadelphia 76ers to the top of the field, but they were not able to win another championship to hang a fourth banner from the rafters at the Wachovia Center. Still fans wait each season for Sixers tickets to see the next great 76er icon.
The 76ers appeared on their way to better things with a team built around hustle last season, but Sixers tickets this season took a giant leap in expectations when Philadelphia land Elton Brand in the offseason. Brand brings a low post scoring threat to the Wachovia Center that the team has not seen since Moses Malone. Brand has the all around talent in Andre Iguodala and the experienced point guard in Andre Miller to make a real run in the postseason.
How far the Philadelphia 76ers tickets will go after the regular season schedule is finished is up to the rest of the young team. Thaddeus Young emerged as scoring threat late last season and Samuel Dalembert is a good rebounder and defender to solidify the starting five without demanding the ball. The bench has three real scoring threats in Louis Williams, Willie Green, and Kareem Rush. One of the three is guaranteed to be on every night. The tough bench defense provided by Reggie Evans and Theo Ratliff will do wonders for the playoff chances. Right now, 76ers tickets for the postseason look to be a definite buy.
