1982-1983 Sixers Part 2

[@julianc6863]

As a Sixers fan for 40 years I didnt know Riley did that. Thats pure class. NBA back then players and coaches respected each other. Not like today living through social media

[@VACman345]

Moses and Dr. J were unstoppable during this series. For me one of the best duo in the history of the NBA.

[@loydkline]

Forgot Andrew toney

[@mrtruthhurts2307]

One of the best teams in NBA history 1983 Sixers

[@crazyman8472]

Brother Dee BEAT L.A.! BEAT L.A.! 😎

[@josephgiuffdrida5387]

Yes they were a greatest team it's a shame people forget about the 1983 76ers when talking championship BB .I watched that whole season and they were great And had great world players that people forget Besides Doc and Moses .Andrew Tony Bobby Jones Marice Cheeks ect

[@josephgiuffdrida5387]

The 1983 Sixes were one of the best championship team ever People don't forget them ......

[@michaeln.2383]

The '96 Bulls wouldn't have stood a chance.

[@lainiwakura4678]

Took 8 of 9 games against those Bucks & Lakers teams. That's damn impressive. One of the best single seasons in league history.

[@MrVelosh]

As a Laker fan myself, this was probably the single best team of the 80's. The Celtics 1986 team and Lakers 1987 team came the closest to this team of the other teams that decade.

[@merlball8520]

MrVelosh Pavichevich , You just named 3 of the best 5 teams of all time, and arguably the top 3.

[@Nolan33177]

One of them teams that will never get lost in the shuffle like so many teams do. People will always remember this team and theyll always come up in conversations as one of, if not the greatest team ever!

[@mario3mmelero571]

What a team, so resilient and could beat anybody on their best day many different ways. So happy Dr. J was able to finally get his elusive championship ring.

[@randy7676]

I WAS BLESSED TO BE ABLE TO SEE" DOC " GET HIS NBA RING @ THE FABULOUS FORUM 🏀! HE IS THE ABA KING!!🏀🏀

[@briangordon1617]

People forget that Dr J won 2 ABA championships for the New Jersey Nets before he came to Philadelphia

[@IJones-yz6qm]

Brian Gordon... EXACTLY and he OWNED that league!!!

[@Krakkenn69]

Moses Malone the bests center in the History... A true legend in the NBA

[@midatlanticcycle]

arguably the greatest team in nba history.

[@BingCherry11]

Dr. J was the ABA League!!!!

[@peterfriedrich7145]

It was their 1st round elimination the next year that gives people the excuse to disregard them in the conversation. They were pretty beat up in 84 but still took 4 out of 6 against Boston who were the eventual champions

[@brucescott4261]

I wept openly when Doc, Big Mo, Little Mo, Bobby, the Boston Strangler, Big Earl, Clint, Iveroni and the 'Sixers became the NBA Champions on May 31st, 1983. I was so happy for Doc. That unit would have outpaced and defeated Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls of the 'nineties, PERIOD!!! Furthermore, had Big Mo entered the 'Sixers during the 1976-77 season, they would have had a dynasty long before Doc's retirement, PERIOD!!!

[@josephgiuffdrida5387]

Yes you're 100% right I would have love to see the 83 76ers play the Detoite bad boys The bad boys wouldn't have pulled there dirty shit against those 76ers That would have been so great series 76ers in 6 games And yes I cried too to finally see them win Especially for Julius Erving The true man of class Then and these days

[@josephgiuffdrida5387]

Yes they would had a dynasty if Moses was there Great great the 83 76ers were It's a shame nobody remembers them .and really talks about them .it's always Jordan this and Jordan that Jordan was one cocky sob didn't have half the class that Julius had and these days also Doc you were the man True Gentleman

[@brucescott4261]

@@josephgiuffdrida5387 ...Notice the class act of exchanges between the victors and the defeated.

[@josephgiuffdrida5387]

Yes I didn't cry but I was so finally happy for Julius and that great 1983 championship team That for some reason gets over showed Don't know why They were a,very great team .only lost 1 game in the whole playoffs I tip my hat to that team

[@brucescott4261]

@Gary Evans ...Hi! Gary! This is Bruce! Doc and the Sixers, had home court advantage twice, in the year 1982 and 1983. The media barely talks about this particular unit! Thanks-a-million for your honesty.

[@brucescott4261]

This edition of the Philadelphia 76ers were the fourth team in the NBA finals history to win by a sweep.

[@mgdiaz2158]

It was so much different back then.

[@Ffeoli1039]

Has to be close to one of the best post season performances in history.

[@davidhammond1521]

Julius wanted it Moses would not be denied and I was lovin life man what a team after the merge b-ball got some tv time finally and it was awesome Larry Julius Magic Jabbar Moses King so many greats these kids dont even know

[@geraldocesarrodrigues8285]

Certamente, ser campeão da NBA é ser campeão do mundo. É evidente que a equipe que consegue ser campeã da NBA é, por consequência, a melhor e também campeã do mundo. Happy Sixers 1982 - 1983.

[@timkelly6308]

My guy Doc j

[@deniswilson8152]

The best team in nba history

[@bryantmoore204]

Moses Malone and Pete Rose deserve a very special place in the annals of Philadelphia sports ethos. Moses was in his prime and took a lot of the pressure of Dr. J.

[@redhead5150]

As great Jabbar was, Moses Malone was probably the greatest center ever. No one could handle Malone when he got on the court. Moses was dominating in Houston earlier and never saw a better center in NBA history.

[@Amick44]

+redhead5150 Well, Moses was definitely the best mid to late 70's to mid 80's. Just as Kareem was late 60's to mid-late 70's.

[@josecarranza7555]

You're joking right, Kareem is probably stats wise the GOAT in basketball history from high school, to college and pro, there is no one even close to him.

[@mrtruthhurts2307]

Michael Carranza truth Kareem was a monster

[@ebsmith29]

I was for the Lakers but had to give the Sixers credit. I think they were the best NBA team I ever saw.

[@andremax77]

I was a Lakers Fan back then also. But I was happy to see Doc and the rest of the 76ers finally win it all!

[@speedoflite1]

Relentless offensive/defensive rebounder. Prolific scorer. "Shot and a Foul!!" the hard way

[@denniscrabtree9680]

After winning 30 of their previous 32 games (including winning streaks of 14, 6, and 10 games in a row) the 1982-83 Sixers were 50-7 at one point, just one game off of the pace of the 1995-96 Bulls who started 50-6. Philly went 15-10 the rest of the way due to some injuries ending up with a 65-17 record but ultimately recovered to go 12-1 in the postseason and sweep the Lakers for the NBA Championship.

[@vonholland64]

Dennis Crabtree I think they rested some for the playoffs as well

[@josephgiuffdrida5387]

I It's a,real shame the people that talk championship Basketball Totally forget about the 1983 76ers They were the first team that almost came near 70 wins They had great players on that team Doc ,Malone Andrew Tony ,Bobby Jones .Marice Cheeks ect I would have love to see the Detroit Bad Boys Try there bad shit with the 83 championship 76s They only lost 1 game through out the whole playoffs They were a great team People please don't forget them

[@jordanboteler8978]

That’s why I love basketball in the 80s bc everyone would congratulate each other even the coaches now they don’t congratulate each other they just walk off everyone played it bc they loved the game now it’s just for the money

[@markmontenaro1789]

One of the greatest teams in nba history , to sweep a team like the lakers. In their prime is one of the best well deserved c'ships right there next to cleveland beating golden state down 3-1 in 2016.

[@frankwhite58]

We beat we beat we beat 🏀🏆🎼

[@peterfriedrich7145]

When Philadelphia and Boston didn't run into each other they both won against the Lakers 83 84. The times they did the Lakers won 80 82 85

6:06 is that a lakers player partying with the sixers after losing the series?

[@johaan2002]

Freezing the Frame, you can see that name ends with an X The only player on the laker roster that year that had a last name that ended in X was Steve Mix Steve Mix made it to 4 NBA finals. 3 with the Sixers when they lost twice to the lakers, and this one with the lakers His Sixers finally won, except that he was on the losing end again. So I can understand why he's celebrating with them.

[@jtoddjb]

the sixers could have had another chance in later years if they had held onto an aging moses when they first got barkley

[@DemonDriver31]

The Lakers at that time had respected the 83 philly 7ers cause that's how much class the Lakers had for them it was their only time losing to Dr Jay n Moses the chairman of the boards Malone that's it the 2 other timrd they won but this time it was Dr jays time 2 celebrate

[@Head318Hunter]

Dr. JAY huh? interesting

[@DemonDriver31]

ROA loool come on now dont troll me.

[@Amick44]

If they had any kind of an encore, they would get the credit they truly deserve. Unfortunately, they didn't. One year wonder. Much like their brethren from 67',.

[@brew7676]

+Mick A in 68 they blew a 3-1 lead to the Celtics as the did in 1981. There were two championships they left on the table, Sixers are a tragic team with some of the greatest player in history, but not enough rings to get the respect they deserved.

[@Amick44]

+Randy Axelrod You're right. Superb teams for one year.

[@mookeychase0907]

Rings don't say it all as you said they left two on the table but screw that they were champs and once you are a champ it's forever...Never the less the '77-'84 76ers are one of thee best teams ever,period!

[@jamesmcburse9711]

The Philadelphia 76ers are the 1983 World Champions.

[@freddyt743]

Doc needed premier big man in the center and they would have killed Portland in 1977. Caldwell Jones and Darrel Dawkins stayed in foul trouble and were useless. All the great centers rolled over them. Not Moses and Big Earl.

[@Amick44]

+alvin banks jr Well, he got it in Moses!

[@brucescott4261]

alvin jr ...Especially Darryl Dawkins!

[@ECWnWWF]

I think after this series was over - Kobe no longer wanted to play with Shaq, so if Jerry Buss didn't deal the Diesel, Kobe would've quit (much like Lebron does)

[@Amick44]

Let's put the 83 moses Malone against Patrick Ewing Bill laimbeer Brad Daugherty John salary Rick Mahorn hell James Edwards in the end modes would Rip them apart

[@redhead5150]

Are you for real !!! This team was unstoppable and Moses parted the Red Sea !!!

[@DemonDriver31]

redhead5150 yes very true

[@archiveprotector]

Also, Moses in 28 games was out rebounded and outscored by Brad Daugherty. 18-10 wins edge for Daugherty as well. Kareem outplayed both, Daugherty and Ewing and Kareem is 8 years older than Moses. From 1977-79 Kareem outplayed a young Moses. From 1980-1985 a prime Moses outplayed an old Kareem. From 1986-89 when Moses was getting old and Kareem was ANCIENT, they were pretty even. Look up the games.

[@jeffrytaberski9889]

George, I know not every player can be at the same age but what Moses did was unstoppable. The 76'ers were one of the greatest forces in NBA history at that time. Everyone gets outscored at one time but Brad never had a career like Malone. Also, Patrick Ewing !!! How do you compare him to Moses !!!!

[@Head318Hunter]

Moses style of play wasn't suited for longevity the way that Kareems style was. Also you're pointing out statistics Ewing and Daugherty vs Moses. What's your point? Sour grapes? let it go, resentments are very unhealthy. Let it go dude. In 1983 Moses and the 76ers swept Kareem and the Lakers 4-0. Nothing will ever change that no matter how badly it hurts you. That's what this video is about. Not 1982 or 84, not Ewing or Daugherty. 4-0 now go cry yourself to sleep honey.

[@archiveprotector]

Really? You do know that Moses played 21 seasons, more than Kareem. My point was that Moses was unstoppable for a few years but over the course of long career Kareem was able to adjust and adapt and still outplay the new breed of centers and Moses wasn't. If you had an adequate reading comprehension you would've deciphered that without much hesitation. If you were articulate enough or had a more extensive vocabulary, you wouldn't have had to try and insult me honey bunny pie.

[@archiveprotector]

Jeffry Taberski I'm not saying Daugherty or even Ewing, was better than Moses. I was trying to illustrate that Moses was unstoppable for a few years but over the course of long career Kareem was able to adjust and adapt and still outplay the new breed of centers and Moses wasn't.

[@archiveprotector]

In general, I believe that the 1983 76ers would be a real threat to any championship team in NBA history. They would beat 90% of them as well. They would certainly beat any of the Bulls teams, because of Moses.

[@forrmarques1416]

If they were sooo great they would've won more rings 1 ain't shit to Lakers and Celtics and bulls.

[@Ryan2022]

It was a 1 year thing. They were great in 1983. They were very good from 1977-1982

[@mgdiaz2158]

Moses owned jabbar. Whos your daddy.

[@archiveprotector]

To Redhead: Moses was great. But .... in 35 in games against Patrick Ewing he was out REBOUNDED and outscored. Ewing dominated him, more assists, more steals, more blocks, higher FG% and he won more games than Moses 18-17. I am not a Ewing fan, and I am a Moses fan. But he cant be best if got dominated by F#$#% Patrick Ewing!

[@redhead5150]

Ewing was much younger than Moses though !!! Remember when we first seen Moses in Houston when he was young ? Moses dominated in Houston !!!

[@gary6754]

George Wagner ummmm, Moses was way past his prime at that point1983 Moses would destroy Ewing at his best

[@Amick44]

+redhead5150 Thank you!

[@archiveprotector]

OK. Moses was past his prime. Fair enough. Just for a fun fact, nothing to do with Moses, Kareem outscored Olajuwon in 23 games and Kareem was 15 years older than Hakeem! That's like Duncan dominating Anthony Davis.

[@caron1873]

George Wagner That's because of his unstoppable skyhook my friend. No one in basketball history can stop that move
