One of the greatest players of his generation, Allen Iverson was drafted first overall by the Sixers in 1996. He helped bring back the team to the spotlight, as well as to the NBA Finals in 2001. Iverson became an icon in Philadelphia, being named the NBA MVP and a seven-time All-Star.

“The Answer” helped the Sixers make the playoffs six times while scoring a lot of points, winning the scoring title four times. He ranks second in the all-time franchise leaderboard in points, third in assists, second in steals, and first in three-pointers made. Iverson also had his iconic No.3 jersey retired by the Sixers in 2014.

Honorable Mention: Forward – Bobby Jones

Although not a Hall of Famer, Bobby Jones is one of the greatest Sixers of all time. He was instrumental in winning the 1983 NBA championship as the team’s defensive maestro. Jones played in Philadelphia for eight seasons with his No. 24 jersey being retired by the team. He was also a four-time All-Star and a seven-time All-NBA Defensive Team member with the Sixers.
