How Did the 1982-83 Philadelphia 76ers Secure Their NBA Title 40 Years Ago?

The Philadelphia 76ers will be celebrating the 40th anniversary of their 1982-83 NBA Championship team on March 20, 2023. The 'Fo' Fo' Fo' team had an impressive playoff run, winning 12 of 13 games, with Moses Malone's prediction of a full sweep of 12 wins materializing. The team had the second-most wins in the franchise history (65), four Hall of Fame players, including Julius Erving and Bobby Jones, and a Hall of Fame coach, Billy Cunningham. During the upcoming ceremony, the 1982-83 team will be honored with a special halftime presentation, and the current 76ers will wear warm-up shirts with the team's 'Fo' Fo' Fo'' slogan. Other than the ceremony, select former team members will engage with current players and coaches during shootaround. Society 76 members will be able to take exclusive photos with the 1983 championship banner.
