76ers launch tribute to 1966-67 championship team, including throwback uniforms

The 76ers announced Thursday morning that they will hold a series of tributes this coming season commemorating the 50th anniversary of the 1966-67 team that won the NBA title.

Led by Wilt Chamberlain, the Sixers that season set team records for winning percentage and scoring average -- marks that still stand today. Other star players included Billy Cunningham, Chet Walker, Hal Greer, Matt Guokas, and Wali Jones.

A series of six "Salute Saturday" games will include visits from players on that 1966-67 team.

A special logo will be installed at center court that highlights the tribute and includes autographs from full season-ticket holders, who will get collectible tickets and ticket boxes.
