The Philadelphia 76ers: NBA Playoff Contenders
What made the 76ers so successful?
The Sixers unique mix of fast-paced offense and tenacious defense was the secret to their success in 1983. Cheeks, who is among the NBA's all-time players in steals, combined with the dominance of league MVP Malone and perennial high-flying all-star Erving was a combination the likes of the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers could not match in their run for the title.
Indeed, if the 1983 Sixers were playing their basketball today, or if any NBA team was as dominant as they were nowadays, you could guarantee that there would be a number of people who would be looking to place a wager on them, especially now that they can in the state of Pennsylvania.
There are a host of available Penn Sports Betting Sites offering some attractive and appealing odds and markets, with some punters able to place a wager on the number of 3-pointers scored in a game. Naturally, this would have been very interesting in the day of the 80s 76ers.
Nowadays, though, sports fans can witness players like Joel Embiid strut their stuff on the basketball court as an attractive betting option, as he can provide them with an interesting number of bets to potentially win from!
But is the current Philadelphia 76ers side one that can go on and achieve success in the future?
