Over the years, the Philadelphia 76ers have been one of the more successful franchises in the league, at least from a wins total standpoint. Sure, they may not have anything of unerring significance to show for it, but there is no denying that the team has been a constant threat to win the championship for the last eight years, save for the most recent campaign.
Having said that, everyone cannot help but compare the franchise to their main nemesis — both in the past and present. Of course, we are referring to the Boston Celtics, a team that has experienced even more success than the 76ers for nearly a decade and actually touts a pretty recent championship as a culmination of their sustained success.
