Just months earlier, the American Basketball Association had ended its ninth and final campaign and the two leagues combined. In a special $6 million deal, the Nets sold Julius Erving, the ABA’s leading scorer, to the Philadelphia 76ers for $3 million.[1] The other $3 million went to Erving, by way of a new contract.[1] In Philadelphia, Erving joined another scoring machine, George McGinnis, who had come over earlier from the Indiana Pacers. This accumulation of talent brought talk of an immediate championship to Philadelphia.The talented 76ers had posted the best record in the Eastern Conference with a record of 50\u201332.[1]Gene Shue was the coach & his key players were Erving (the esteemed Dr. J), McGinnis & 6-foot-6 shooting guard Doug Collins. Other key contributors included point guard Henry Bibby and World B. Free. Caldwell Jones started at center with 20-year-old Darryl Dawkins, also known as “Chocolate Thunder,” in a backup role. The reserve forwards were Steve Mix, Harvey Catchings and Joe Bryant. The Sixers beat the Boston Celtics & the Houston Rockets in the Eastern Conference Playoffs, but lost to the Portland Trail Blazers 4\u20132, after winning the first 2 games.[1]Table of Contents       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Offseason[edit]NBA Draft[edit]Regular season[edit]Season standings[edit]Record vs. opponents[edit]Season schedule[edit]October[edit]Playoffs[edit]Awards and honors[edit]Milestones[edit]References[edit]Offseason[edit]NBA Draft[edit]PlayersCoachesPos.No.NameHeightWeightDOB (YYYY-MM-DD)FromPG10Bibby, Henry6\u00a0ft 1\u00a0in (1.85\u00a0m)185\u00a0lb (84\u00a0kg)1949-11-24UCLAPF23Bryant, Joe6\u00a0ft 9\u00a0in (2.06\u00a0m)185\u00a0lb (84\u00a0kg)1954-10-19La SalleC42Catchings, Harvey6\u00a0ft 10\u00a0in (2.08\u00a0m)218\u00a0lb (99\u00a0kg)1951-09-02Hardin\u2013SimmonsSG20Collins, Doug6\u00a0ft 6\u00a0in (1.98\u00a0m)180\u00a0lb (82\u00a0kg)1951-07-28Illinois StateC53Dawkins, Darryl6\u00a0ft 11\u00a0in (2.11\u00a0m)251\u00a0lb (114\u00a0kg)1957-01-11Maynard Evans HS (FL)PG10Dunleavy, Mike6\u00a0ft 3\u00a0in (1.91\u00a0m)180\u00a0lb (82\u00a0kg)1954-03-21South CarolinaSF6Erving, Julius6\u00a0ft 7\u00a0in (2.01\u00a0m)210\u00a0lb (95\u00a0kg)1950-02-22UMassSG21Free, Lloyd6\u00a0ft 2\u00a0in (1.88\u00a0m)185\u00a0lb (84\u00a0kg)1953-12-09GuilfordSG25Furlow, Terry6\u00a0ft 4\u00a0in (1.93\u00a0m)190\u00a0lb (86\u00a0kg)1954-10-18Michigan StateC11Jones, Caldwell6\u00a0ft 11\u00a0in (2.11\u00a0m)217\u00a0lb (98\u00a0kg)1950-08-04Albany StatePF30McGinnis, George6\u00a0ft 8\u00a0in (2.03\u00a0m)235\u00a0lb (107\u00a0kg)1950-08-12IndianaSF50Mix, Steve6\u00a0ft 7\u00a0in (2.01\u00a0m)215\u00a0lb (98\u00a0kg)1947-12-30ToledoHead coachLegend(C) Team captain(DP) Unsigned draft pick(FA) Free agent(S) Suspended InjuredRegular season[edit]Season standings[edit]Record vs. opponents[edit]1976\u201377 NBA RecordsTeamATLBOSBUFCHICLEDENDETGSWHOUINDKCKLALMILNOJNYKNYNPHIPHOPORSASSEAWASAtlanta\u20140\u201344\u201302\u201322\u201322\u201320\u201340\u201341\u201330\u201341\u201322\u201322\u201321\u201331\u201333\u201311\u201330\u201343\u201314\u201301\u201321\u20133Boston4\u20130\u20143\u201312\u201321\u201333\u201312\u201321\u201332\u201321\u201323\u201312\u201313\u201312\u201322\u201323\u201311\u201332\u201321\u201334\u201302\u201320\u20134Buffalo0\u201341\u20133\u20141\u201332\u201322\u201323\u201310\u201331\u201331\u201330\u201331\u201333\u201313\u201311\u201332\u201322\u201323\u201311\u201330\u201343\u201310\u20134Chicago2\u201322\u201323\u20131\u20143\u201311\u201332\u201322\u201321\u201332\u201322\u201323\u201313\u201314\u201302\u201322\u201312\u201322\u201320\u201343\u201312\u201321\u20132Cleveland2\u201323\u201312\u201321\u20133\u20142\u201321\u201332\u201321\u201332\u201313\u201312\u201324\u201302\u201322\u201323\u201311\u201332\u201312\u201322\u201323\u201311\u20133Denver2\u201321\u201332\u201323\u201312\u20132\u20143\u201312\u201323\u201303\u201313\u201312\u201323\u201313\u201312\u201323\u201311\u201333\u201312\u201321\u201324\u201302\u20132Detroit4\u201302\u201321\u201332\u201323\u201311\u20133\u20143\u201312\u201322\u201324\u201301\u201333\u201313\u201311\u201323\u201312\u201322\u201322\u201321\u201321\u201331\u20133Golden State4\u201303\u201313\u201302\u201322\u201322\u201321\u20133\u20142\u201314\u201301\u201332\u201321\u201331\u201331\u201333\u201313\u201314\u201301\u201332\u201321\u201333\u20131Houston3\u201312\u201323\u201313\u201313\u201310\u201332\u201321\u20132\u20144\u201302\u201322\u201323\u201312\u201322\u201322\u201321\u201333\u201313\u201312\u201323\u201313\u20131Indiana4\u201302\u201313\u201312\u201321\u201321\u201332\u201320\u201340\u20134\u20142\u201321\u201332\u201322\u201322\u201324\u201302\u201322\u201320\u201342\u201322\u201320\u20134Kansas City2\u201311\u201333\u201302\u201321\u201331\u201330\u201343\u201312\u201322\u20132\u20141\u201332\u201322\u201324\u201304\u201301\u201333\u201312\u201321\u201331\u201332\u20132Los Angeles2\u201321\u201323\u201311\u201332\u201322\u201323\u201312\u201322\u201323\u201313\u20131\u20143\u201313\u201301\u201334\u201302\u201323\u201313\u201313\u201313\u201314\u20130Milwaukee2\u201321\u201331\u201331\u201330\u201341\u201331\u201333\u201311\u201332\u201322\u201321\u20133\u20141\u201321\u201333\u201311\u201321\u201332\u201323\u201311\u201331\u20133New Orleans3\u201312\u201321\u201330\u201342\u201321\u201331\u201333\u201312\u201322\u201322\u201320\u201332\u20131\u20143\u201312\u201320\u201343\u201312\u201321\u201331\u201332\u20132N.Y.
