Great Moments in Philadelphia 76ers History by Mark Kuta
1937-49: It All Started in 1937-The original Philadelphia 76ers were neither in Philadelphia nor called the 76ers. But the team did begin in a northeastern city and did have a patriotic name, the Syracuse Nationals. The Nats had been in the NBA since the league's first year of existence and came to the City of Brotherly Love in 1963, just after the Warriors had abandoned Philadelphia for San Francisco. Thus began the Philadelphia 76ers, an organization that has featured one of the best NBA teams ever to swagger onto the court (68-13 in 1966-67) and one of the worst to be blown off it (9-73 in 1972-73). Along the way Philadelphia 76ers fans have had such figures as Wilt Chamberlain, Julius Erving, Moses Malone, and Charles Barkley have registered some of their finest seasons in a Philadelphia uniform. Other notables, such as Hal Greer, Billy Cunningham and Maurice Cheeks, have earned their reputations with the team as well. Philadelphia, one of the country's great basketball cities, and its 76ers are an important part of the league's history and of its future.
1963-66: Basketball Returns to Philadelphia In the spring of 1963, Irv Kosloff and Ike Richman teamed to buy the Syracuse Nationals and moved the team to Philadelphia as the 76ers. Despite the changes, the new team didn't look all that different on the court. Schayes spent the season, his last, as player-coach; Greer poured in 23.3 points per game; and Chet Walker, a 6-7 second-year player, added 17.3 points per contest. Shaffer, Kerr, and Costello were still with the team, though Shaffer and Costello each missed almost half of the season with injuries. The team finished with a record of 34-46 and was knocked from the playoffs again by Cincinnati. With professional basketball back in Philadelphia, it wasn't long before the city's greatest individual talent returned. Wilt Chamberlain had left his native Philadelphia to play college ball at the University of Kansas and had then toured with the Harlem Globetrotters. Possessing a unique combination of both height and agility, Chamberlain entered the NBA in 1959 at home with the Philadelphia Warriors. With the Warriors he quickly became the most dominant scorer in league history. Yet, as the franchise resettled Out West, not all was well with the team and its star.
The Warriors, despite Chamberlain's continued scoring bursts, were having trouble winning games and fans in 1964-65. The team wanted to unload "the Big Dipper" and his salary for new players and big money. The Philadelphia 76ers welcomed the proposition. Halfway through the 1964-65 season the Warriors traded Chamberlain for guard Paul Neumann, center Connie Dierking, forward Lee Shaffer (who never signed with the Warriors or played again in the NBA), and cash. The trade was the start of something very good for Philadelphia's second NBA team. The 76ers finished the 1964-65 season at 40-40, good enough for third place in the division behind Cincinnati and Boston. They advanced past Cincinnati in the Eastern Division Semifinals, then battled the Celtics for seven games in the division finals before falling, 110-109, in Game 7.
Prior to the 1965-66 campaign, with Chamberlain entering his first full season with the Sixers and getting support from Hal Greer, Chet Walker, rookie Billy Cunningham, and Wally Jones (obtained from Baltimore), many fans felt it was finally time to dethrone Boston, which had claimed seven straight division titles. The observers were only partially correct. Chamberlain averaged 33.5 points, the lowest output of his first seven seasons. But it was a well-balanced Sixers squad that won 18 of its final 21 games, including the last 11, to finish at 55-25, a single game ahead of the Celtics. However, a first-round bye dulled the Philadelphia 76ers edge, while the Celtics sharpened their attack with a three-games-to-two series win over Cincinnati. In the Eastern Division Finals the Philadelphia 76ers managed only a six-point win in Game 3 against the Celtics and dropped the series in five games.
