The Philadelphia 76ers have had a wonderful season this year. After a disappointing playoff exit to the Boston Celtics, the franchise made definitive changes to the team. The 76ers brought in Doc Rivers as the new head coach, Daryl Morey as the new GM, and several new players like Dwight Howard and Danny Green, who had championship experience and pedigree. And now, Rivers is getting the best out of everyone, including star players Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons.

Dr. J picks Philadelphia 76ers to succeed

Former NBA Champion and multiple-time All-Star ‘Dr. J’ Julius Erving gave an interview recently for Danny Green’s ‘Inside the Green Room’. When asked about which of his former teams has an advantage over the other, Erving stuck with the title-winning team of his career.

He believes that the championship experience of Doc Rivers, Dwight Howard, and Danny Green will give them a major edge. Furthermore, the hunger and ambition of young players like Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons will be a huge factor.

Erving added that he would put his money on the line for the Philadelphia 76ers to beat the Brooklyn Nets. Confidence is key, according to Erving, and the 76ers need to maintain it. The rest will need to be done on the court.

“I’m betting my money on Philly … Ws mean confidence. It’s not cool to be overconfident, but it’s very cool to be confident. So you need to maintain that confidence and get out there and perform, that’s the way I see it.”
