The 76ers got their start as the Syracuse Nationals in 1947 in the National Basketball League (NBL). The Nationals joined the NBA in the 1949-50 season, and then moved to Philadelphia in 1963 as the 76ers. The franchise won NBA championships in 1955, 1967, and 1983, and both the 1967 and 1983 teams were selected by a panel of media members as two of the Ten Top Teams in NBA History. The 76ers play their home games at the First Union Center in Philadelphia, PA. Eight 76ers have been selected to the Hall of Fame including Dolph Schayes, Wilt Chamberlein, and Julius Erving.
