The Philadelphia 76ers Have Created a City of Basketball Love
You have probably heard of the Philadelphia 76ers, but have you heard of the Philadelphia Warriors or the Syracuse Nationals? The Philadelphia Warriors played in the NBA from 1961-1962, before moving to San Francisco. Fortunately for basketball fans in the "City of Brotherly Love," the Syracuse Nationals moved to Philadelphia, prior to the 1963-1964 season.
