Philadelphia Jewels/2020-21 season

The Philadelphia Jewels 2020-21 season was the franchise’s first season in the Pacific Ocean Basketball Association as the Philadelphia Jewels, although they have played in the POBA since 2001 as the Last Generation Legends. This was also their first season with DanzxvFan8275 as the owner, as the general manager, and as the head coach.
The Jewels finished the regular season with a 13-2 record, good enough for the one seed and best record in the league. This was mostly attributed to their trade acquistions of Ben Simmons and Dennis Rodman, as well as their deep roster. However, despite their league-best record, they would go on to lose in the semi-finals to the New England Seagulls, ending their season.
