The 2000–01 NBA season was the 76ers 52nd season in the National Basketball Association, and 38th season in Philadelphia.[1] All-Star guard Allen Iverson had his best season in 2001; he led the 76ers to win their first ten games, and started for the Eastern Conference at the All Star Game in Washington D.C., and won All-Star MVP honors.[2] The Sixers also posted a 56–26 record, which was the best in the Eastern Conference that season, and the team's first 50-win season since 1989–90.[3] It was also the 76ers' best regular season record since 1984–85. Iverson averaged a then-career high of 31.1 points per game, winning his second NBA scoring title in the process. He also won the NBA steals title at 2.5 per game, and contributed 4.6 assists per game.[4] Iverson was selected to the All-NBA First Team, and named NBA Most Valuable Player for his accomplishments, beating Tim Duncan and Shaquille O'Neal by a wide margin.[5][6] In addition, head coach Larry Brown was named NBA Coach of the Year, All-Star center Dikembe Mutombo, who was acquired from the Atlanta Hawks in a midseason trade,[7] won his fourth NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award, while being named to the All-NBA Second Team and NBA All-Defensive First Team, and Aaron McKie won the NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award. McKie averaged 11.6 points, 5.0 assists and 1.4 steals per game, while Tyrone Hill provided the team with 9.6 points and 9.0 rebounds per game, and Eric Snow contributed 9.8 points, 7.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game, but played just 50 games due to injury.[4] The 76ers had the fifth best team defensive rating in the NBA.[8]

However, this season was not without controversy. With the Sixers having a big lead in the Eastern Conference, Theo Ratliff sustained a wrist injury that sidelined him for the remainder of season after 50 games,[9] thus only having Matt Geiger and second-year player Todd MacCulloch at center. Ratliff was also selected to play in the All-Star Game along with Iverson, but did not play because of injuries.[10] The Sixers then traded him along with Toni Kukoč, and Nazr Mohammed to Atlanta for Mutombo.[7] By trading Kukoc (who was not included in the original proposed deal, and who won three championships with Phil Jackson as his coach during his tenure with the Chicago Bulls), the Sixers had only one other player on the roster who had NBA Finals experience, Snow, who played a total of 24 minutes in 10 games in the 1996 NBA Playoffs as a reserve for the Seattle SuperSonics. At one point the team's record was 42–14, but finished 14–12 the rest of the way, including a five-game losing streak in March.[3]

Allen Iverson won the NBA Most Valuable Player Award for the season.

In the last game of the season (at home against the Chicago Bulls), Larry Brown rested his starters instead of trying to go for a win. Had the Sixers won this game, they would have had the league's second best record (behind the San Antonio Spurs), and home court advantage over the Los Angeles Lakers in the Finals. Both had the same record, but the Lakers' record for non-conference opponents was better than Philadelphia's.

In the playoffs, Iverson and the Sixers defeated the Indiana Pacers three games to one in the Eastern Conference First Round,[11] before meeting the Vince Carter-led Toronto Raptors in the Eastern Conference Semi-finals. The series went the full seven games.[12] In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Sixers defeated the Milwaukee Bucks, also in seven games,[13] to advance to the NBA Finals against the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers. Iverson scored 48 in Game 1, which the Sixers won. However, the Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant led Lakers would win the next 4 games and the title.[14] Following the season, Hill was traded along with second-year forward Jumaine Jones back to his former team, the Cleveland Cavaliers,[15] and George Lynch was dealt to the Charlotte Hornets.

The team's season roster has been featured in the video game series NBA 2K. However, Rodney Buford, Roshown McLeod, Kevin Ollie, Pepe Sánchez, Raja Bell, and Speedy Claxton have been excluded from past installations of the game due to issues in regards to the permission of using the players' likenesses in the games.[16]

For the season, the 76ers slightly redesigned their uniforms, which remained in use until 2007.[17][18] This was the last time the 76ers won the Atlantic Division title, and clinched the #1 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs until the 2020–21 COVID-19 pandemic-shortened season.

Offseason[]

During the off-season, the 76ers were not involved in any trades. In the 2000 NBA draft, they drafted guard Speedy Claxton and swingman Mark Karcher. Claxton missed the entire season due to a knee injury, while Karcher would be waived on October 18. Karcher would not play any games in the NBA.

Their first transaction was made on August 17, when they signed Jermaine Jackson. Jackson almost made the team, but he was waived one day before the team's season opener.

On October 2, the 76ers signed Ademola Okulaja and Pepe Sánchez. Okulaja was on the team's roster, but did not play in any regular season games. He was waived on December 19. Sánchez played 19 games with the Sixers before being traded to the Atlanta Hawks with Toni Kukoč, Nazr Mohammed, and Theo Ratliff for Roshown McLeod and Dikembe Mutombo on February 22. Sánchez played 5 games with Atlanta before being waived on March 12. Three days later, Sánchez would once again sign with the Sixers.

On October 28, the 76ers signed Vernon Maxwell, who previously played for the team during the 1995–96 season. Maxwell would play in 24 games with the Sixers before being waived on December 22.

The Finals were played using a 2-3-2 site format, where the first two and last two games are held at the team with home court advantage. The NBA, after experimenting in the early years, restored this original format for the Finals in 1985. As of the 2013–2014 NBA finals played by the San Antonio Spurs and the Miami Heat, the finals have again been returned to a 2-2-1-1-1 format.
