CHICAGO — If the 76ers have shown one thing through the years, it's that winning an NBA title isn't easy.
Their 191 victories since the start of the 2019-20 season rank second in the league behind the Milwaukee Bucks' 204. Yet those regular-season fireworks have translated to second-round losses in the postseason, and none of the Sixers' current players were born when they last won the title 40 seasons ago.
But on paper, this season's squad has perhaps the best chance to win a championship since Julius "Dr. J" Erving and Co. defeated the Los Angeles Lakers in four games.
