There you are Philadelphia 76ers and fans. Take a bow. After all the anti-Sixers claims for years, those same Sixers are the first NBA Eastern Conference team to advance to round two. And so, ending a 52-30 season, the Philadelphia 76ers are in the NBA spotlight and deserve to be there. Concluding a decisive 4-1 series against a tough playoff-seasoned Miami Heat, the players, the coaches, and the fans enjoy post-season success. On one hand, never has such a difficult journey incorporated such a fundamental change. On the other hand, the NBA has never witnessed a franchise undertaking a complete top to bottom to top rebuild.
