Could a healthy 76ers team make the NBA Finals?
Yahoo Sports senior NBA reporter Vincent Goodwill and fantasy basketball analyst Dan Titus discuss if a healthy Philadelphia 76ers could run the east and make the NBA Finals. Hear the full conversation on 'Good Word with Goodwill' and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you listen. View more Video Transcript Make the case, then, for the Philadelphia 76ers to get through the Eastern Conference, to get to the Eastern Conference Finals, and to get through that to the NBA Finals. Make the case. It's health contingent right now. The, the, uh, the dwelling that's all it is, health. Are you sure? I think it's health. It's health at this point because right now you're, you're, their back is against the wall. We don't know truly how healthy Joel and Beat is right now. All we know is that he's supposed to be ready for training camp. I'm taking Darryl Morey and the staff at their word at this point. If he's ready for training camp and Paul George gets re-evaluated and everything looks great at training camp, let's go. You already don't have to worry about the Boston Celtics this year, which was your biggest gatekeepers to ever getting past that to winning that Eastern Conference Finals. You got a playoff with the, with the Indiana Pacers. You get them out of there. The Knicks, they sent you home in seven games and that, that was brutal to the, to the franchise. So now you can get your lick back. Joel and B, Paul George, Tyrese Maxey, solid trio. You got Jerry McCain coming back off of an injury. He was in the running for Rookie of the Year last year before he got hurt. VJ Edgecombe already bringing a lot of energy off the bench that they could definitely use. If everything breaks right, and then as long as they Beat is healthy going into the playoffs, they got it. If that doesn't happen, well, hey, they better hope that they turn it off, um, they gotta turn off the faucet quick because they got a top 4 protected right now that's going to the Oklahoma City Thunder. So if they don't think that they're gonna win this, they need to pull the plug early. And try to just tank again and hopefully they can get a top 4 pick in what's gonna be a really good draft, but I don't know. They could be, they could be screwed. They could be screwed. Yeah, that's the bottom line, but they could be screwed. Um. No, I, I think, look, BJ HO, I think Paul George is, that's a question mark for me. Another surgery, another injury coming into the training camp. And these guys are sneaky old. We only think of LeBron, Steph and KD as old. Everybody else is getting old too, and Paul George is one of those dudes. Close

Where does Sixers legend Moses Malone land on top 100 players list?
Philadelphia 76ers legend Moses Malone is one of the best players to ever play the game of basketball. A rebounding machine, Malone averaged 20.3 points and 12.3 rebounds--5.1 offensive rebounds--per game across his 12 years in the league. He played five seasons with the Sixers--across two separate stints--and averaged 21.0 points and 12.0 rebounds with Philadelphia. He was a key member of the franchise's last title team in 1983 when he was named finals MVP as the Sixers knocked off the Los Angeles Lakers in a rematch of the 1982 finals. Malone averaged 25.8 points and 18.0 rebounds in the sweep of the Lakers. Bleacher Report ranked the top 100 players in the history of the NBA and Malone comes in ranked No. 21: The all-time leader in offensive rebounds (both total and per game), Malone dominated the glass throughout his career. Though not particularly skilled as a finisher or passer, all those boards produced plenty of second-chance opportunities and free throws, and Malone led the league in attempts from the foul line five times. His first two MVP awards came with the Houston Rockets in 1978-79 and 1981-82, and he followed that up with a third for the Philadelphia 76ers in 1982-83, earning the distinction of being the only player in NBA history to win back-to-back MVPs for two different teams. In addition to those wins, Malone boarded his way to seven other top-10 finishes. His 'fo', fo', fo'' prediction in 1983 didn't quite come to fruition, as the Sixers swept just two of their three playoff series en route to a 12-1 postseason record that culminated in a championship. Malone's No. 2 jersey hangs from the rafters of the Wells Fargo Center as he is one of the best players in the franchise's history. He teamed up with Julius "Dr. J" Erving to give the Sixers a formidable duo on a nightly basis. Philadelphia leaned on him heavily to get the job done in a tough Eastern Conference.
