Season of the 76ers: The Story of Wilt Chamberlain and the 1967 NBA Champion Philadelphia 76ers

Destroying a dynasty. That was the mission of Wilt Chamberlain and 1966-67 Philadelphia 76ers. For eight straight years, the Boston Celtics had dominated the National Basketball Association. Each and every season during that stretch, a new NBA championship flag was hoisted to the top of the hallowed Boston Garden. No team had been able to stop them. Nobody thought any team could or would. Season of the 76ers, The Story of Wilt Chamberlain and the...

Long Overdue Book on a legendary team

Only Philadelphia could totally neglect the greatest NBA team of alltime for over thirty years. I remember going to the old Convention Hall in Philly and watching Wily, Chet, Hal, Billy and Luke and the boys obliterate opposing teams. Big Luke was my favorite player---he set picks for Cunningham, Greer, and Walker; he played tenacious defense, and rebounded like a demon. He sacrificed much of his own scoring production for...

Wonderful Story telling...magnificent story

I was moved to pick up this book after seeing the author on TV speaking about his life long love of the 76's. So, I thought the book would be a great gift for the men in my life (for birthdays, Father's Day, and the like.) Well, I thumbed through a copy in the bookstore, and, after reading the introduction, I was hooked--and I'm a girl...way too young to remember anything about 1967. Still, Mr. Lynch's writing is as engaging...

Accurately remembering the greatest team in NBA History!

To secure NBA Hall of Famer Billy Cunningham to write the Foreword for this remarkable story says something about Wayne Lynch's maiden voyage into the literary world. Cunningham starts the book off right, stating that the 76ers weren't going to have to win one championship, but TWO. First, they would have to overcome (physically AND mentally) their long-time arch enemy - the 8 time defending champion Boston Celtics. And...

A walk down memory lane for pro basketball fans

Wayne Lynch chronicles the Philadelphia 76ers' 1966-67 championship team with the enthusiasm of a fan and the skill of an accomplished writer. I was a spectator at many of the events he describes, and reading this book brought back a flood of memories. I learned things I never knew about Wilt Chamberlain and his teammates; Bill Russell, Red Auerbach, and other NBA notables; and the history of the league. The book includes...
