This basketball franchise originated as the Syracuse Nationals, being established in 1946. After changing to the Philadelphia 76ers in 1963, the team has had plenty of good players roll through the city. With titles in 1955, 1967 and 1983, the 76ers do have some solid history. The current team relies on the talents of young stars and hope to make some noise this postseason.
