Basketball's Greatest Teams-Episode #1 The 1982-83 Philadelphia 76ers

from A Pen And A Napkin

NEW PODCAST ALERT!!!!!!!The game of basketball has been around since December of 1891, but have we ever really settled this question . . . what team, at the game's highest levels, has been the most dominant single season team ever? We're not just talking about the NBA or college basketball, but the most dominant basketball team ever? In this new series, we're going to use math, the eye test and debate to try to figure out which team is the best basketball team ever at the four highest levels of the game (NBA, Men's and Women's College Basketball and the WNBA). We've selected 92 of the greatest teams ever, and by the end of this exercise, we'll be able to say which team was truly the greatest ever!We start our series with the team that I fell in love with basketball with, the 1982-83 Philadelphia 76ers. From "Fo, Fo, Fo" to Dr. J winning his one and only title, this is a legendary team whose place in the game is cemented forever. The question is, just how high do they rank? You'll have to listen to find out!
