The Ultimate 76ers Team



In this series, I assemble what I believe is the greatest team possible for each franchise. In this specific video, we’re looking at the Philadelphia 76ers.
5 starters, 5 backups, and 3 rotations players. A total of 13 roster spots on each Ultimate Team. It’s not just about talent, but it’s about building a team that works and gels together.

The game of Basketball has been my passion since I was 5 years old. I grew up as a kid watching my dad’s recorded VHS tapes of playoff games through the 70s and 80s, and collected all the Basketball cards. Something about the game and what it represents just hooked me from a very young age.
My love for the game only continues to grow as time goes on. I love studying and analyzing the game, with an unbiased perspective. Feel free to subscribe, follow me on social media, and celebrate this amazing game and it’s rich history with me!
I post videos every week on NBA history, predictions, hypothetical scenarios and current NBA topics.

  1. Assuming this series will continue until it’s concluded with all 30 teams, I’ll be doing a 2k simulation with all 30 squads, and reacting as it all goes down.
    Which franchise are you looking forward to in this series???

  2. It's also worth noting that this is an elite nickname team: secretary of defense, chairman of the boards, round mound of rebound… Just top notch

  3. It’s pretty bad that I didn’t even realize Joel wasn’t on the list until the rotation players. Didn’t even cross my mind that he should be on here😊

  4. This is great! I hope you get through every team! At the end, when you’re done you should rank the teams you have created!

  5. could someone like Barkley end up as PF for the Suns or will only their peaks be considered? just because you pointed out his dominance in Philly

    excellent work as always though, 67 Wilt is my favourite, and I hope I get to see your take on my Knicks !

  6. Love this idea!! I hope it is popular enough to keep going! I also hope you keep this series going until at least the Bulls. I feel like that would give you the best upper level indicator for this series.

  7. It’d be interesting if no player can be on two teams. No Wilt available on the Lakers team and no Barkley for the Suns.

  8. Great list, but I would go Dana Barros over James Harden in the last spot. Barros only played 2 years on the Sixers but Harden hasn’t even played that.

    Barros was a far more efficient shooter, especially in 1995 when he was an All-Star. He shot .490/.464/.899, had 3 rebounds, 7.5 assists, 1.8 steals, 3 turnovers and scored 20.6 points per game. I understand the allure of Harden but the 6’ers version is 33 years old, less efficient and often injured. He gets more rebounds but some of that is attributed to the large number of 3-pointers taken in today’s game. As Harden famously says, “Long shot, long rebound”.

    Great video concept though Jonny! I hope you get through all the teams.

  9. Love this idea! Please do all 30… maybe even add a 31st team of ABA players that never really represented NBA teams, Dampier & Wise etc

  10. this series seems very interesting, i’d watch every video for sure, at least get to celtics please

  11. I don't agree with your starting 5. I'm going with Cheeks at pg and Andrew Toney at SG. I'm cool with the other 3 guy's

  12. 1967 Wilt overall GOAT peak in my view.

    League 2nd:

    League 3rd:
    PTS

    *Would have been Finals MVP if it existed

    His team won the title and was the only team to knock off the Bill Russell Celtics with Russell healthy for the whole series.

  13. I would’ve had Dikembe over Embiid. Defense would have been more of a help. You have more than enough offense with Moses & Wilt as big men.

  14. I get why… but it just feels so weird to hear Moses Malone coming off the bench😂😂😂… great team…. personally… (And I'm not too bullish on this)…. I'd like to find a way to get Kyle Korver on the team… not that he's the most talented… but i like the idea of someone who can keep the defense honest… although… he's a bit of a ghost on defense admittedly

  15. C. Wilt Chamberlain
    PF. Moses Malone
    SF. Dolph Schayes
    SG. Julius Erving
    PG. Allen Iverson
    6. Joel Embiid
    7. Charles Barkley
    8. Hal Greer
    9. Maurice Cheeks
    10. Billy Cunningham
    11. Andre Iguodala
    12. Larry Costello
    13. Bobby Jones
    14. Herschel Hawkins
    15. Dikembe Mutombo

  16. Great series idead, looking forward to seeing the other franchises. I was really expecting to see Iguodala on that list. His versatility would have been a great addition to this squad. Dude had amazing defense, was a good scorer especially in the open court and was a low key good passer as well.
    You make such good reasoning of everyone of your picks though!

  17. I would replace James Harden with forward Chet Walker from those '60s teams. Walker played seven productive seasons in Philly (although his best years were with the Bulls), whereas Harden has only played two so far. And I sure hope you get around to doing the Boston Celtics.

  18. You mentioned you need shooting. No love for dolph schayes? Its common knowledge he could hit his shot from modern 3.
    Love this idea. I do it all the time. Can't wait for the Celtics and lakers ones.

  19. I'm liking this, gotta agree with the viewer that recommended this. Please do a full series 😉

  20. Can’t wait for more! My Hawks will be interesting. The Celtics and Bucks will be overpowered!
