Like the 1993 Phillies or the 2004 Eagles, the 2001 Philadelphia 76ers are best known for what didn't happen. They fell short of a championship, but the team still holds a special place in the hearts of Philadelphians.
In 2001, behind MVP Allen Iverson, the Sixers went on a magical run to the NBA Finals. This Saturday, before the Sixers host the Pelicans, they'll celebrate the 25th anniversary of that iconic Eastern Conference championship.
Like many in Philadelphia, former Sixers announcer Marc Zumoff has fond memories of that season.
