Philadelphia 76ers
 PROFILE
Elton John lives and breathes that Philadelphia freedom, and basketball fans in the City of Brotherly Love live and breathe the Philadelphia 76ers. Originally the Syracuse Nationals, the team moved to Philadelphia in 1963 and signed hometown legend Wilt Chamberlain the next year. The 76ers became NBA champs in 1967 with Chamberlain leading the way. Dr. J (Julius Erving) prescribed another championship in 1983. Fitness guru Pat Croce and cable giant Comcast bought the team in 1996, with the new First Union Center as home court. Future Philly fortunes rest in the hands of veteran coach Larry Brown and explosive guard (and the 2000-01 MVP) Allen Iverson.
