NBA: All-Time starting 5 Of the Philadelphia 76ers

Forward – Julius Erving

Julius Erving

The greatest Sixers player of all time, Julius Erving brought consistency to the team as well as swagger. In 11 seasons with the Sixers, Erving helped the team make the playoffs every year, culminating in an NBA championship win in 1983. He was also an All-Star all his seasons with the Sixers which is a remarkable feat.

“Dr. J” also won the NBA MVP Award in 1981 and he was also a two-time All-Star Game MVP. Erving was nothing short of great during his years with the Sixers. He ranks fourth in the team’s all-time scoring list, seventh in rebounds, fourth in assists, third in steals and first in blocks. Erving also became a Philly legend, commemorated by a statue in South Philadelphia.

Honorable Mention: Forward – Billy Cunningham

Before Julius Erving, Billy Cunningham was the Sixers’ superstar forward. He had two stints with the team, from 1965 to 1972 and from 1974 to 1976. Cunningham helped the team win an NBA title in 1967. He also coached the Sixers for eight seasons after his retirement, leading them to a championship in 1983.
