Philadelphia 76ers Tickets Continued
The team began in 1939 as the Syracuse Nationals and in 1946 were a charter member of the National Basketball League. In 1949, the Nationals were one of seven NBL teams that merged with the Basketball Association of America to form the NBA.
The club in the recent years has revolved around high-scoring point guard Iverson. With the addition of Chris Webber from Sacramento Kings in 2005, the 76ers hoped that the duo would make a volatile and powerful combination. However, the team did not improve significantly and was defeated in the postseason by the then-defending champion Detroit Pistons, who were coached by Larry Brown. In the offseason, the 76ers fired coach Jim O'Brien and hired Maurice Cheeks, a popular former 76ers star.
