Context paragraphs:
2009–10 Philadelphia 76ers season: The 2009–10 Philadelphia 76ers season was the 71st season of the franchise, 61st in the National Basketball Association (NBA).  The season was memorable on December 2 when Allen Iverson returned to the team for his second stint with the Sixers.  However, it was short lived as he left the team in February to attend to his then 4-year-old daughter Messiah's health issues.  Although Iverson was selected to play in what could have been his 11th consecutive All-Star Game, he backed out due to personal reasons.  In March, it was announced that Iverson would not return to the 76ers for the rest of the season.  The Sixers season ended with a disappointing 27-55 record.  After the season, Eddie Jordan was fired, replacing him with former Sixer Doug Collins for the next season.

2017–18 Philadelphia 76ers season: The 2017–18 Philadelphia 76ers season will be the 79th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA).  The 2017–18 76ers season will likely be the first time where their franchise's young core would play together with players like Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons, Dario Saric, Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot, and newly drafted point guard, Markelle Fultz with leading the way moving forward.  Furthermore, during the 2016–17 season, the club was plagued with injury with Ben Simmons, Jahlil Okafor, Jerryd Bayless, Joel Embiid and Robert Covington.  All five of them missed significant time.  They would wind up acquiring the #1 pick again, this time being point guard Markelle Fultz from the Boston Celtics on June 19, four days before the 2017 NBA Draft began in exchange for their #3 pick this year (which was Jayson Tatum) and another first round pick moving forward.  During the 2017–18 campaign, the Sixers look to build young core and have more of a legitimate change to a playoff run since Sam Hinkie's infamous tanking method.

List of Philadelphia 76ers head coaches: The Philadelphia 76ers are an American professional basketball team based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  They are a member of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference in the National Basketball Association (NBA).  Formerly known as the Syracuse Nationals, the 76ers joined the NBA when it was founded in 1949.  The Nationals had a record of 51–13 in their first NBA season under coach Al Cervi and won the Eastern Division crown.  The franchise were purchased by Philadelphian Irv Kosloff and Ike Richma in the spring of 1963; the NBA approved their franchise shift on May 22 and name change to the Philadelphia 76ers on August 6.  This brought professional basketball back to the city, which had been without a team since the Golden State Warriors left Philadelphia in 1962.  After coaching the 76ers since , Doug Collins resigned as head coach on April 18, 2013 following the 2012–13 season.  Brett Brown was hired to be the head coach of the 76ers on August 15, 2013 prior to the start of the 2013-14 season.

2015–16 Philadelphia 76ers season: The 2015–16 Philadelphia 76ers season was the 77th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA).  It was also the second straight season that Joel Embiid, their third pick in the 2014 NBA draft, would not suit up for the 76ers due to a leg injury.  Philadelphia broke the record for the longest losing streak in American professional sports history with 27 straight losses over this season and last season with a 114–116 loss to the Houston Rockets.  The losing streak would reach to 28 games (with the 18 straight losses tying the record for longest opening season losing streak with the 2009–10 New Jersey Nets) before getting their first victory at home against the Los Angeles Lakers, which was also Kobe Bryant's last game against the 76ers in Philadelphia.  Philadelphia would also hire former Phoenix Suns owner, coach, general manager, and four-time NBA Executive of the Year winner Jerry Colangelo on December 7, 2015 as their Chairman of Basketball Operations.  Eleven days later, former Denver Nuggets, Phoenix Suns, New York Knicks, and Los Angeles Lakers head coach Mike D'Antoni would join the team as an associate head coach.  Near the end of the season, general manager Sam Hinkie would announce his resignation from his position, being replaced by Jerry's son Bryan Colangelo before the end of the season.  Jerry would also announce his personal demotion from his original position afterwards.  They finished just one game shy of tying the NBA record for most losses in a season set by themselves during their 1972–73 season when they went 9–73.  However, it would be the season where Sam Hinkie's goal of "The Process" came into full fruition since they'd later earn the #1 selection in the 2016 NBA draft.

2013–14 Philadelphia 76ers season: The 2013–14 Philadelphia 76ers season was the 75th season of the franchise, the 65th in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and the 51st in Philadelphia.  The season was notable for the 76ers tying Cleveland's NBA record for most consecutive losses with 26, a streak that started with a 99–125 loss to the Atlanta Hawks on January 31 and ended with a 123–98 win over the Detroit Pistons on March 29.  They were 15–30 after 45 games and finished with 4 wins and 33 losses in their last 37 games.

1972–73 Philadelphia 76ers season: The 1972–73 Philadelphia 76ers season was their 24th season in the NBA and tenth in Philadelphia.  Coming off a 30–52 record in the previous season, the 76ers lost their first 15 games of the season and a few months later set a then-record 20 game losing streak in a single season.

1979–80 Philadelphia 76ers season: The 1979–1980 Philadelphia 76ers season was the 76ers 31st season in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and 17th season in Philadelphia.  They finished with a record of 59–23, their best since the 1967–68 season.  The team had acquired guard Lionel Hollins from the Portland Trail Blazers after their effort to obtain Pete Maravich failed as he signed with the Boston Celtics.  In the playoffs, they won the 1980 Eastern Conference Championship over the Boston Celtics 4–1.  In the 1980 NBA Finals they would lose to the Los Angeles Lakers 4–2.  The series was memorable for Julius Erving's baseline move in Game 4, and Magic Johnson's 42-point effort in Game 6 starting the game at center in place of an injured Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

2016–17 Philadelphia 76ers season: The 2016–17 Philadelphia 76ers season is the 78th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA).  The 2016–17 season would have been the rookie season for number 1 overall pick in the 2016 NBA draft Ben Simmons, but a broken foot injury sidelined him for the whole season.  It would be the team's fourth straight season where a top prospect of theirs would be sidelined for an entire season due to an injury (the 76ers previously dealt with former center Nerlens Noel being out in the 2013–14 NBA season and Joel Embiid being out for two straight seasons before this one).  However, Joel Embiid, who was previously drafted 3rd in the 2014 draft, played in his first season after suffering multiple foot injuries before later being out for the rest of the season after playing a promising 31 games throughout the season.  Also, it was the first season of draft and stash prospect Dario Šarić, who was also taken in the 2014 NBA draft.  The 2016 season was also the first time in three years the Sixers made a splash in NBA free agency by adding guards Jerryd Bayless, Sergio Rodríguez and veteran Gerald Henderson Jr. to the team.

Rod Freeman: Rodney Lee "Rod" Freeman (born November 5, 1950) is a retired professional basketball small forward who played one season in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member of the Philadelphia 76ers during the 1973–74 season.  He attended Vanderbilt University and in the 11th round of the 1973 NBA draft he was selected by the 76ers.
