They have won three NBA championships, with their first coming as the Syracuse Nationals in 1955.

Their rivalry with New York Knicks is one of oldest rivalries currently running between two teams till date .it all started when Sixers won 1955 NBA title ,which Knicks didn’t like because it was Knicks who were best team at that time with absolute star studded lineup having players like Harry Gallatin ,Vinnie Richards , Sweetwater Clifton ,Dick McGuire etc but couldn’t get past Nationals (later Sixers) in finals despite being better team on paper that year which resulted into huge rivalry between these two teams which is still alive today
