Philadelphia 76ers: Ranking the championship seasons
By Matt Plesco
The Philadelphia 76ers franchise has won three championships. Let’s take a look at all of them.
All three of the Philadelphia 76ers‘ championship seasons were superb in their own ways.
The 1955 season was perhaps one of the most eventful of all-time that a surprisingly small number of people know about. From a nail-bitter Game 7 to gambling by players, the NBA Finals had it all.
The 1967 Sixers recorded the best record in league history at the time, going 68-13. They are still, arguably, the best basketball team in Philadelphia history.
In 1983, the Sixers swept the Los Angeles Lakers, who had five Hall of Famers (though James Worthy did not play) and were led by Hall of Fame Coach Pat Riley. The “Chairman of the Boards” Moses Malone won league MVP and Finals MVP.
