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:
"We traded Charles Barkley!"
The Sixers fooled everyone into thinking they'd traded a six-time All-Star and future MVP for a Pu pu platter of players, with the best returning player (Jeff Hornacek) openly upset about having to play for Philadelphia.
