Sixers honor 1966-67 championship team

One of the greatest teams in NBA history was honored Saturday night at the Wells Fargo Center.

The 76ers had an on-court halftime ceremony for members of their 1966-67 championship team during the game with the Boston Celtics. It was fitting that the ceremony came on a night the Celtics were in town.

The 1966-67 squad, led by Wilt Chamberlain, dethroned the eight-time defending NBA champion Celtics in the Eastern Division finals. Then they beat the San Francisco Warriors in six games in the NBA Finals.

That Sixers squad finished the regular season with a 68-13 record.
