While the Philadelphia 76ers mourns the loss of Darryl Dawkins, arguably a top twenty 76er of all time, I did some research to see how many “top” lists I could find him on. My general instinct was basically correct as I noticed him on three separate lists and within the top twenty Sixers ever.
The Sixers go back to 1946 as the Syracuse Nationals. The Philadelphia 76ers became a franchise in 1963, carrying three world titles. The Nats captured one back in the 1950s and the Sixers won it all in both 1967 and 1983.
