1999–2000 Philadelphia 76ers season

The 1999–2000 NBA season was the 76ers' 51st season in the National Basketball Association, and 37th season in Philadelphia.[1] During the off-season, the Sixers signed free agent Bruce Bowen, and acquired Billy Owens from the Orlando Magic. The team also replaced center Matt Geiger in the lineup with power forward Tyrone Hill. The Sixers lost their first three games and got off to an 11–12 start, but played above .500 as the season progressed. At midseason, the team traded Owens and second-year guard Larry Hughes to the Golden State Warriors, and traded Bowen to the Chicago Bulls for Toni Kukoč in a three-team trade.[2] However, Bowen never played for the Bulls and was released to free agency, and signed with the Miami Heat. The Sixers posted a 7-game winning streak in March, and won seven of their final nine games. The team finished third in the Atlantic Division with a 49–33 record.[3]

Allen Iverson averaged 28.4 points, 4.7 assists and 2.1 steals per game, and was named to the All-NBA Second Team, and made his first All-Star appearance as he was selected for the 2000 NBA All-Star Game in Oakland.[4] Hill averaged 12.0 points and 9.2 rebounds per game, while Theo Ratliff provided the team with 11.9 points, 7.6 rebounds and 3.0 blocks per game, George Lynch provided with 9.6 points, 7.8 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game, and Eric Snow contributed 7.9 points, 7.6 assists and 1.7 steals per game.[5] In the Eastern Conference First Round of the playoffs, the Sixers defeated the 4th-seeded Charlotte Hornets in four games.[6] In the Eastern Conference Semi-finals, they faced the top-seeded Indiana Pacers, who swept them in the second round of the playoffs last year. The Pacers would defeat the Sixers in six games to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals for the fifth time in seven years,[7] then to the NBA Finals for the first time, where they lost in six games to the Los Angeles Lakers.[8]

For the season, the Sixers added new blue alternate road uniforms that lasted until 2006.[9]
