The1966–67 season of thePhiladelphia 76ers was their 14th season in theNational Basketball Association (NBA) and their 4th since moving fromSyracuse (as well as their final season at thePhiladelphia Civic Center, before moving to theSpectrum in South Philadelphiathe next season).

This season set a record in winning percentage (which had originally been set by the1946–47 Washington Capitols in the NBA's officialfirst season of play when the NBA was originally named theBasketball Association of America (BAA)) and they won theNBA Finals for the franchise's second championship and first in Philadelphia. This team was later chosen as the greatest individual team in 1980 for theNBA 35th Anniversary Team.

During the off-season, the 76ers dismissed head coach & former 76ers (Syracuse Nationals) playerDolph Schayes.Alex Hannum, (a former 1950spower forward, who was the last man to coach a winner past the Boston Celtics) was the new coach. The 43-year-old Hannum looked like he could still play, and often ran with the club in practice.^{[citation needed]}

Wilt Chamberlain's 8 assists per game set a record for centers and made him 3rd in the NBA overall while scoring 24 points per game and once again leading the NBA inrebounds. Shooting less, he made a league-record 68% of his shots; his 875free throw attempts, another league record, offset his terrible percentage from the foul line.

The 76ers also had three other players around the 20-point-per-game mark that season inHal Greer with 22 points &Chet Walker &Billy Cunningham with 19 points each. The four players combined (as well as the rest of the roster) won a then-league-record 68 games together under Hannum's watch. The team averaged a record 125points per game, leading all teams in shooting accuracy.

The 76ers started the season at 46–4, which remains the best 50-game start in the NBA history (though tied in the Warriors2015-16 season). They finished the season at 68–13, thebest record in league history at the time. In the 1st round of the playoffs, they swept the Cincinnati Royals, then in the Eastern Conference Finals, defeated the Boston Celtics (a team that had won eight consecutive titles and 9 out of the previous 10) 4 games to 1. In the Finals, they defeated the San Francisco Warriors, 4 games to 2.^[1]

In 1996, the 1966–67 76ers were named as one of theTop 10 Teams in NBA History. They averaged over 125 points per game in 81 regular season contests, still the third highest scoring team in league history for the regular season, and first among NBA Champions. Despite that,HoopsHype listed this 76ers squad as a team with the 23rd easiestNBA Finals championship route in 2024 due to the records of the first round opponent in theCincinnati Royals and championship round opponent in theSan Francisco Warriors respectively, with their Eastern Conference Finals opponent in theBoston Celtics saving this squad from an even easier route by comparison.^[2]
