The City of Brotherly Love
Philadelphia, a city with its own rich history of basketball. Legends like Julius Irving, Allen Iverson, Wilt Chamberlain, and Charles Barkley.

Eventually they landed their star in Embiid and have a promising future.
Philadelphia 76ers vs Los Angeles Lakers
The Sixers and Los Angeles Lakers have a history dating back to 1950, when the two met in the playoffs. At the time Philadelphia was known as the Syracuse Nationals and the Lakers were playing in Minneapolis. They'd lose that series, as well as the series in '54. The two teams would meet again in 1980 with Philly once again losing. It wasn't until three years later that the Sixers would get their revenge and win a championship. It wouldn't be until 2001, when a Lakers team lead by Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant would beat Allen Iverson's Sixer squad.
The Lakers and 76ers are both in unique situtations. Rosters loaded with talent, and the clock ticking on their championship window. LeBron James has commanded this team for a while now, and will he be able to take them back to the Finals. Joel Embiid and James Harden have gotten close, but advancing to the Finals has haunted them. Although these current rosters have not faced each other, let's take a look at how Philadelphia has performed against the Lakers.
