The Sixers best April Fool's Day jokes of the last 30 years

Everyone deserves to laugh, and the Sixers have been a source of smiles and cheer for decades on end. April Fool's Day is a day of celebration for the court jesters among us, and the Sixers have employed a number of Grade-A pranksters over the years.

Without further ado, the best April Fool's Day pranks* ever pulled off by the Sixers:
