The 1966-67 Philadelphia 76ers were considered by many to be the greatest team of all time for many years. Their record was 68-13, went 28-2 at home, and at one point they were 46-2. The team had 5 players with local ties, 2 played at Overbrook High School, 1 of those 2 played at Villanova along with one of his teammates. Another member of the team was a St Joe Hawk and yet another played at Penn State. Can you name these 5 players?
