Hall of Fame center Moses Malone graced the cover of Sports Illustrated in November 1982 to commemorate his move to Philadelphia after six standout seasons in Houston. Malone made the most of his four seasons with the 76ers and won the NBA Finals in 1983.
76ers President Chris Heck is hoping Jimmy Butler can have the same impact as Malone after Philadelphia acquired the four-time All-Star on Saturday. To celebrate Butler's acquisition, Heck and the Sixers recreated SI's famous Malone cover, looking to recapture the magic of a previous era.
