Were the 2015-16 Philadelphia 76ers the Worst Team in NBA History?

The Philadelphia 76ers just finished the 2015-16 NBA season with the second-worst record any team has had in an 82-game regular season, winning only 10 times.

If you are wondering who the worst team was, your search can stay in Philadelphia, as the 1972-73 version of the 76ers finished 9-73. The Sixers have had one of the worst three-year stretches in history, going 47-199, with win totals of 18, 19, and 10, during the polarizing Sam Hinkie era, which came to an end last week.

As bad as they have been, the franchise still did not reach as low of a low as the Dallas Mavericks did from 1992 through 1994, posting a 23-141 record over two seasons.
