They were considered a legendary team - and Wilt is considered by some to be the greatest basketball player of All-Time.
The 1983 team - before my time as well - is considered by some basketball experts as the 'Greatest Team Ever' with Doc, Moses, Toney and Cheeks.
Allen Iverson - took the Sixers to the 2001 NBA Finals against the Lakers is considered revolutionary - not only as a player but also 'Mainstream' pretty much regarded as the first NBA player to transcend old school hoops where 'cornrows' in your hair and dressing like a rap/R&B artist was acceptable and 'cool' - he defined 'cool' and what every kid growing up with a ball in his hands wanted to be.
That being said - Philly is around #5 or so in the biggest markets in the U.S. - and is arguably (I said arguably New York, Boston, Chicago) the greatest sports town in the U.S. Passionate sports fans who love hoops.
Fast forward to today - when those of us that have been patient with 'The Process' for years - strip everything down and swap assets for assets for years - forget about short term and look at long term - it should be taught in MBA Classes - you can't help fans salivate at the thought of Embiid, Simmons, Fultz and the future that lies ahead.
