The Philadelphia 76ers are a historic NBA franchise competing in the Eastern Conference Atlantic Division, playing their home games at the Wells Fargo Center in South Philadelphia. The full name honors the signing of the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia in 1776. The team was founded in 1946 and adopted its current name in 1963. Their colors are red, white, and blue, owned by Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment, with Nick Nurse as head coach. The name and mascot, "Franklin," celebrate American revolutionary history. The franchise's storied history includes the era of Wilt Chamberlain and the legendary 1967 championship team. The 1980s "Fo', Fi', Fo'" team led by Julius Erving and Moses Malone won the 1983 title. After a prolonged rebuilding period dubbed "The Process," the modern Sixers entered a new contending era built around MVP center Joel Embiid and, until recently, James Harden. The team has been a regular playoff participant and Atlantic Division champion, constantly seeking the elusive next Finals appearance. The fan base is famously passionate and demanding, known for its vocal and knowledgeable support. The 76ers embody the gritty, resilient spirit of Philadelphia, forever chasing a return to the NBA's summit.
