Customer Reviews

A very good book for the true 76ers fan.

What do Moses Malone, Julius Erving, Bobby Jones, Darryl Dawkins, Allen Iverson, Billy Cunningham, Hal Greer, Wilt Chamberlain all have in common? Before you answer they all played basketball, you might be surprised to know that they all played for the Philadelphia 76ers as well.As a long time Sixers fan, especially through the Dr. J. years, I was pleasantly surprised how mush information in enclosed in this 50-page book. Filled with facts and photos about those who played on the '67 and '83 teams, both young and old will enjoy this quick read.You'll be treated to chapters about the history of the franchise, from its start in Syracuse, with NBA Legend Dolph Schayes, to the move to Philadelphia, with greats like Wilt, the Doctor and Moses. You'll even read about Wilt's trade and the acquiring of Julius Erving.Also you can read about some of the more famous players and coaches, look at the career stats of some 76er greats, find out more books to read and even get a website address to visit. Tailored to fit every budget - the book is a great gift for any basketball fan.
