A great note, especially for a Philadelphia 76ers fan.
As the NBA.com site indicates, 1963 was when the 76ers were born. The history follows:
“In the spring of 1963, the Syracuse Nationals were purchased by two Philadelphians, Irv Kosloff and Ike Richman, and the NBA approved the franchise shift formally on May 22.
The franchise then held a contest to name the club and on August 6, 1963, the Nationals changed their name. The late Walt Stahlberg, of West Collingswood, New Jersey, won the contest, of which 500 different suggestions were entered.
Stahlberg was one of several who picked the 76ers. However, his accompanying 25-word explanation was deemed the best by the judges, and he and his wife received an all-expense trip to the West Coast to see the newly named 76ers play San Francisco.”
By the way, you can tell your friends and family that the ‘B’ in 1963B stands for, what else, but BASKETBALL... or Beer if you need an excuse to tap another keg.
Just a wonderful memento. Imagine if you could get Dr J to sign it?
Either way, I would strongly recommend you don’t dribble away this unique opportunity.
“Dr J spins to his left, drives through the lane, double pumps….
