Los Sixers vivieron una temporada histórica en la pasada campaña, no solo por el 75 aniversario de la competición, sino también por la llegada de uno de los mejores jugadores de todos los tiempos y que ha supuesto un antes y un después en la búsqueda de un anillo de campeón de la NBA, para la ciudad de Philadelphia.

Llegaba a la ciudad del Amor Fraternal, con un promedio en su carrera de 25.0 puntos, 5.6 rebotes, 6.7 asistencias y 1.5 robos por partido, Harden en lo que era un claro exponente de la superestrella que necesitaba en equipo para explotar su potencial. No en vano es uno de los miembros de los 75 mejores jugadores de la historia de la NBA.

En lo que llevaba de temporada, con los Nets, Harden había promediado 22,5 puntos, 8,0 rebotes y 10,2 asistencias (segundo en la NBA) en 37,0 minutos por partido en 44 partidos (todos como titular), lo que lo convierte en el único jugador de esta temporada con tales promedios. Harden registró nueve triples-dobles, empatado en el tercer lugar en la liga esta temporada.&nbsp; También registró 29 dobles-dobles, empatado en la sexta mayor cantidad en la liga esta temporada y la mayor cantidad entre los escoltas.

Ya con los Sixers, llegó a disputar 21 juegos de la temporada regular, manteniendo el nivel de lo mostrado con Brooklyn, con un promedio de 37.7 minutos en pista y una media de 21 puntos de media, así con promedio de acierto en tiros de campo por encima del 40 por ciento, un 32.6 por ciento de acierto en triples, y 10.5 asistencias de promedio.

Ya en la postemporada jugó los 12 juegos que disputó, siempre como titular, subiendo su promedio de minutos en pista a los 39.9 minutos de media, para un total de 18.6 puntos de promedio, un acierto en tiros de campo que siguiendo estando ligeramente por encima del 50 por ciento y en triples subió su acierto hasta el 36.8 por ciento, y llevando su media de asistencia a las 8.6 por encuentro.

Unos números que hacen ser optimistas de cara al futuro, pero con la referencia de poder llegar a subir sus números a los niveles que exhibiese en las postemporadas de 2109 y 2020, donde llegó a tener unos promedios anotadores en torno a la treintena de puntos.

Y aunque en Philadelphia no recaiga sobre él la presión de tener que liderar la ofensiva del equipo, a esos niveles, que pueda asemejar su juego a lo que llegó a demostrar en Houston, sería un factor determinante que acercaróa a los Sixers al ansiado anillo, que no llega a Philadelphia desde hace 40 años.

Esa es la clave, llegar en plena forma de juego y química, al momento clave de la temporada, que es la postemporada, pasando por una larga de temporada regular, que servirá de base para lo que vivamos en playoffs, y luego arrasar en la búsqueda de un anillo que se resiste para Philadelphia, por un largo periodo de tiempo.

Si alguien puede volver al nivel que tuvo y ser esa pieza angular del proyecto que tanto ansiaábamos en Philadelphia, ese es Harden. El Harden que es tres veces campeón de anotaciones de la NBA (2018-20), uno de los cuatro jugadores en la historia de la liga que tiene varias temporadas con un promedio de al menos 20 puntos, cinco rebotes y 10 asistencias. Los únicos otros jugadores que lo han hecho más de una vez son Russell Westbrook (cinco veces) y los miembros del Salón de la Fama Magic Johnson (tres veces) y Oscar Robertson (cinco veces).&nbsp; Su promedio de 36.1 puntos por juego en 2018-19 fue el segundo más alto de cualquier jugador desde el comienzo de la temporada 1970-71, solo detrás del promedio de 37.1 del miembro del Salón de la Fama Michael Jordan en 1986-87.

La ilusión en Philly por Harden sigue intacta hoy, como el primer día de su llegada a la ciudad del Amor Fraternal. Se sueña que su estancia en Philadelphia será sinónimo de anillo para Philadelphia. El sueño sigue intacto.

Una Temporada Historica: James Harden

Saturday in Philadelphia, Tyrese Maxey kicked off his slate of three free basketball camps for youth in one of his “three homes.”

With the first camp in Philadelphia complete, Maxey will host his second camp on Aug. 13 in Dallas, and the final camp on Aug. 20 in Lexington.

Following Saturday’s festivities, the now-third year Sixer caught up with Sixers.com…

“The main reason [I wanted to do these camps] was just to help out kids, and give back to the community. I call Lexington, Philadelphia, and Dallas my three homes. So to be able to give back to my three homes, and spread joy across the country with the kids, that makes me happy as well.”

Maxey remembers playing in LaMarcus Aldridge’s camp as a kid, and now has faced Aldridge as an NBA opponent. How would Maxey feel if one of his campers someday faced him in the NBA?

“That’s crazy - It just makes me sound like I’m going to be old! But I’ll be blessed to be there if I am. That means I had a long and healthy career. I can’t do anything but thank God for this opportunity that I have, and this platform I have to give back to everybody. I’m just blessed to be here.”

Accessibility was also a priority for Maxey, making sure all three of his camps would be free of charge:

“It was all about giving back to the kids, giving back to the community. I wasn’t, sometimes, able to afford some camps, and my Mom and Dad wanted to. So to be able to come to a camp of an NBA player, I feel like that’s pretty cool. I’m not cool, but I just hope I can spread a little joy with the kids, and everything will be ok.”

As for the weeks ahead, Maxey plans to continue his early morning workouts, while recharging with his family:

“I’m excited to go home for a little bit, hang out with the fam. Then I get to go back to Lexington. I moved into my new house, my dog has a lot of space to run around. I’m just happy, I’m just blessed. I’m ready for the next opportunity I have for next season, and I can’t wait to get out here with my teammates.”

Upon the conclusion of his camps, Maxey will return to his new home in Philadelphia - a city with which he’s already developed a deep connection:

“I feel like I relate to everybody in the city. The fans that come to the games, they work, and spend their hard-earned money to be able to attend these games. I feel like I worked extremely hard to be able to get to where I am. Nothing was given to me, everything was earned. So I really understand where they’re coming from.”

Tyrese Maxey's Tour of Free Basketball Camps Starts in Philadelphia

Through their foundation, Harris Philanthropies, Philadelphia 76ers Managing Partners Josh and Marjorie Harris joined the 76ers in hosting more than 75 youth from underserved areas in Philadelphia, Camden, Chester and Wilmington for a week-long sports and educational camp at Neumann University in Aston, PA. The camp ended on Friday.

In addition to basketball training, the goal of the camp was to enrich the participants off the court as well:

Nobody deserved a relaxing offseason more than 76ers Assistant Coach Dave Joerger.

After battling head and neck cancer during the 2021-22 NBA season - and returning to the bench for the season’s final stretch - the veteran coach could have taken a hard-earned trip off the grid.

Instead, he’s spending his time giving back, in multiple communities across the country.

Joerger says he likes to use the offseason for four goals: relaxation, player development, ideation among coaches, and making a positive impact in his communities.

Ahead of one of Joerger’s favorite summer events, a basketball camp on the Standing Rock Reservation in Northern South Dakota and Southern North Dakota, the now third-year Sixers Assistant Coach sat down with Sixers.com to discuss his offseason initiatives and more.

At the start of the conversation, Joerger shared a personal update…

“Things are really good for the Sixers, and for me as well. As far as personally, things that have gone on with recovering from cancer treatment. It is a process. You never feel like you’re fully healed or done with it. It’s always going to be part of your story and part of what you’re going to go through physically and mentally going forward. And your family has to live with it as well, but we feel very positive about it because of getting to it early. Identifying what the problem was early and then going to the treatment immediately. So we feel very positive going forward, to be and live a full life.”

After leaving the team last Nov. 13 to undergo cancer treatment, Joerger returned to the bench on a full-time basis on Feb. 2. Head Coach Doc Rivers said it was really cool to watch their players react to the good news. Now, Joerger looks forward to another season surrounded by his Sixers family…

“That was neat. Any impact I had on the team, it was a thousand times [less than] the impact they had on me. Being around the guys, being around the coaches – both the players and the coaching staff are way more than a working professional relationship. We’re all friends. You’re pulling for each other. Your families know each other and your families are trying to help each other all the time. We’re around each other more than we are sometimes with our own families, so it’s its own family. That was very invigorating for me… and then, certainly the competition and being able to be part of another successful season. And now, as you flow into the upcoming season and the excitement that we have going into that, there’s just such a good vibe. We have a great group of players, as people. And the same with the coaches, as people. You want to be around them. So now, with the success we’ve had and the success we feel like we can have going forward, it’s a very positive vibe because everybody’s all pulling in the same direction.”

The assistant coach then touched on the Sixers’ offseason…

“It’s pretty crazy. Things go fast,” Joerger said. “Before you even get to the [roster] changes, I think you get to the fact that James Harden, Joel Embiid, and other guys did not have a lot of time together. Our core has had two years together – Tyrese [Maxey], Tobias [Harris] – and Joel and Tobias have been together for a number of years, we get that. But to add a guy who has the ball as much as James does, especially with Joel, that’s only going to get better as more time is spent together. I think that’s really going to be a positive for us to be able to have a training camp and to go into a full regular season together. That’s a process and a journey that they’ll continue, because they’re great players, to get better at. And then you add the development of our younger players. They’re going to continue to get older. Shake Milton, Matisse Thybulle, etcetera, etcetera – I don’t want to miss anybody. We sometimes kind of glean over Tyrese because he’s so prominent, but he’s had a great summer. We know this.

“There’s that development and that improvement from within, and now you add the other players: De’Anthony Melton, P.J. Tucker, Danuel House. What it does is it gives us a lot of flexibility. Those guys can all play multiple positions. They can play with the basketball, they can play without the basketball, and they can all defend their own position very well, as well as other positions. And they’re good dudes, too. Let’s not let that go. They’re good people we’re adding to the mix. It gives us a lot of depth. And some would say the other side of it is you have more margin for error. Injuries are part of the process of an NBA season. To have that continuity where you kind of don’t miss a beat when somebody has to be out for X number of games or a period of time – and also the fact that especially P.J. has been around the block. He’s got veteran–ness to him, he’s got experience to him, and he’s vocal. I think that’s really going to help our locker room. It’s going to help our team continue to grow through the journey of the season.”

Joerger elaborated on Tucker’s leadership, and toughness as an identity for the team…

“I think what they’re expressing is ‘part of me wants to be like this, but I need somebody to go first.’ I think that’s what P.J. Tucker is going to really [do]. You’re going to see guys now come a little bit out of their shell with their personality – not outside of themselves, but that part of it can come out a little bit more as somebody is kind of out there in front. Now we have a catalyst for that and a leader in that area, and I think you’ll see guys’ toughness come out a little bit more than it has in the past.”

When it comes to making an impact in various different communities, Joerger’s basketball camp on the Standing Rock Reservation in the Dakotas is important to him for a number of reasons…

“It’s important to me because I think, as a league, we do a lot of good things and I think we try to help some of the more underserved places in our country. [Among] those that sometimes I think gets overlooked a little bit are the reservations, and some of the poorest counties that we have economically in our country are on the reservation. The issues that some of these kids deal with – the suicide rates, the alcoholism rates, and those kinds of things that they grow up with – I’m able to maybe have a chance to have an impact or to show them something… It’s not about getting out, but it’s rising to in their future maybe I want to be part of this, that, or the other experience that maybe I never even got to see in my mind. For us to do those kinds of things, as some of the players do with their camps, that’s what we’re trying to do and I’m trying to serve at this camp.”

Last spring, the 76ers organization made a donation to Jefferson Health following Joerger’s treatment…

“With the Sixers, who have just been so supportive and just terrific, we’re going to be able to have – through Jefferson Health –&nbsp; five or six different opportunities throughout the community with a mobile service where they can screen people and work on early detection for people that might not otherwise make that trip or push themselves to go have something checked out. Man, that makes a difference. I’m just really, really proud of our organization because they’re just ahead of the curve. They’re fantastic in their support of how we can help with the resources we have, which are a lot. It’s very humbling, very cool.”

The 48 year-old Minnesota native whose NBA experience includes time spent in Memphis, Sacramento, and now Philadelphia, reflected on the past year…

“It was interesting and it was difficult,” Joerger said. “I had a lot of support from, not just basketball people, but a lot of basketball people throughout the country. And certainly friends and family, and then also our Sixers family as well. It’s not something you think is ever going to happen to you. I think that’s why people don’t go get tested and get the detection devices and tests applied to them because that’s stuff that happens to other people. I certainly was one of those people. I remember when I got the text. We were in Toronto. ‘We’ve found something.’ You immediately call your doctor… It was the longest three or four hours ever. We got to the arena, I grabbed the trainer and we went in and Doc [Rivers] and I put our heads together. I said here’s what I know so far, we’ll see what happens coming down the pike, but I can’t believe this is happening to me. You go through it, you get through it, and come out the other side.”

Philadelphia 76ers Announce 2022 Preseason Schedule

ONE OF 10 PLAYERS IN LEAGUE HISTORY WITH AT LEAST 20,000 POINTS, 5,000 REBOUNDS AND 6,000 ASSISTS  

RANKS THIRD ALL-TIME IN NBA HISTORY IN THREE-POINTERS MADE  

PHILADELPHIA – JULY 27, 2022 –&nbsp;Philadelphia 76ers President of Basketball Operations Daryl Morey announced today that the team has re-signed 10-time All-Star and 13-year NBA veteran James Harden. Per team policy, the terms of the deal were not disclosed.&nbsp;

“Today, I'm celebrating alongside Sixers fans everywhere as we announce that James Harden – former MVP, 10-time All-Star and three-time scoring champion – has re-signed with the team,” Managing Partner Josh Harris said. “James stands out as an elite playmaker and feared scorer, and his commitment to the team reflects his dedication to bring a championship to this city. We recognize that winning a title is no easy feat, but I’m proud of the work our organization has done this offseason and look forward to the season ahead.”Acquired by the 76ers as part of a five-player trade with the Nets on Feb. 10, 2022, Harden averaged 22.0 points (.410 FG, .330 3FG, .877 FT), 7.7 rebounds, 10.3 assists, 1.3 steals, and 37.2 minutes in 65 games played (all starts) between Brooklyn and Philadelphia in 2021-22. The 13-year veteran was one of two NBA players to tally at least 1,400 points, 500 rebounds, and 600 assists this past season, making him the fifth player in league history to accomplish that feat three times (Oscar Robertson, Magic Johnson, LeBron James, Russell Westbrook).&nbsp;

Philadelphia starting lineups featured a league-best 20.2 net rating after Harden’s arrival to the team.&nbsp;

“This is where I want to be. This is where I want to win, and I think we have the pieces to accomplish that goal,” Harden said. “From my first day with the 76ers organization, the team and the fans have helped me feel at home here in Philadelphia. I’m excited to build off of last season and I can’t wait to get out on the court with the guys and start this journey.”&nbsp;&nbsp;

Harden posted totals of 442 points, 149 rebounds and 220 assists in his 21 games with the 76ers. He is the only player in league history to reach such totals within their first 21 outings with a new team. He also did so with the Brooklyn Nets in 2020-21.&nbsp;&nbsp;

This past season, Harden surpassed Hall of Famer Reggie Miller and moved into third place all-time in made three-pointers. He also posted 11 triple-doubles last season, which were the third-most in the NBA. For his career, Harden has the eighth-most triple-doubles in league history with 69. &nbsp;&nbsp;

“I couldn’t be happier with James’ decision to commit to our organization. Over the last two years we have taken major steps toward our ultimate goal of becoming champions," said 76ers Head Coach Doc Rivers. "James shares our drive to win a title, and he believes being a 76er gives him the best opportunity to do that. Together, we will work tirelessly to achieve our goal.”&nbsp;&nbsp;

All told,&nbsp;Harden&nbsp;has appeared in 942 games (728 starts) with Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Houston and Oklahoma City and holds averages of 24.9 points, 5.6 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 1.5 steals per game.&nbsp;&nbsp;

“James Harden is one of the greatest players in NBA history and a future Hall of Famer. His mission is to win an NBA title and we’re thrilled that he will continue that journey here in Philadelphia. He is one of the best scorers and passers to ever play, and his knowledge of the game allows him to dissect defenses and make everyone around him better,” Morey said. “James' commitment to winning continues to resonate throughout our organization, and I believe we’ve only scratched the surface of what’s possible in his partnership with Joel and this talented roster. This is an exciting time for our franchise."&nbsp;&nbsp;

Prior to last season with the Nets and 76ers, Harden&nbsp;spent&nbsp;parts of nine seasons (2012-21) with the Rockets. During that time,&nbsp;Harden&nbsp;was named the 2017-18 NBA MVP after leading the NBA in points per game (30.4) and finishing third in assists (8.8). He was also among the top-three vote-getters for the award each season from 2016-20.&nbsp;Harden&nbsp;ended his Houston career as the franchise's all-time leader in three-pointers (2,029), free throws (5,554) and assists (4,796) while ranking second in team history with 18,365 total points and third with 1,087 steals.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Harden, a three-time NBA scoring champion (2018-20) and NBA Sixth Man of the Year (2011-12), is one of four players in league history to have at least three seasons averaging at least 20 points, five rebounds and 10 assists. The only other players to do so more than once are Russell Westbrook (five times) and Hall of Famers Magic Johnson (three times) and Oscar Robertson (five times). His 36.1 points per game average in 2018-19 was the second-highest by any player since the start of the 1970-71 season, behind only Hall of Famer Michael Jordan’s average of 37.1 in 1986-87.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

A member of the NBA’s 75th Anniversary Team, Harden helped lead the 76ers to their fifth consecutive playoff appearance.&nbsp;&nbsp;

76 Devcorp begins a robust community engagement process&nbsp;to help ensure proposed arena development is a win for fans, Center City and Philadelphia at large

Philadelphia, Pa., JULY 21, 2022 – Josh Harris and David Blitzer, Managing Partners of the Philadelphia 76ers, announced today the creation of a new development company, 76 Devcorp, responsible for developing the future home of the Philadelphia 76ers. Led by Philadelphia business leader David Adelman, in partnership with Harris Blitzer Sports Entertainment (HBSE), the Development Corporation is pursuing a privately-funded, purpose-built sports and entertainment arena, 76 Place, that will be located on a portion of the current site of Fashion District Philadelphia and serve as an anchor to Center City.&nbsp;&nbsp;

“The Philadelphia 76ers are a storied Philadelphia institution with a proven track record of investing in their community. That’s why we’re committed to building a world-class home in the heart of the City and creating a privately-funded arena that strengthens ties within the local community through investments that prioritize equity, inclusivity and accessibility,” said Josh Harris, 76ers Managing Partner. “David Adelman shares our vision for ensuring that the new arena is an anchoring force in the local community, creating well-paying jobs and economic opportunities for those who need them most.”

Adelman, the CEO of Campus Apartments, Co-Founder of FS Investments and Founder of Darco Capital, was appointed Chairman of the new development company with a mandate to locate, design and develop a destination that serves as a world-class arena facility, but also a lever for the City of Philadelphia’s economic growth by promoting transformative community development, local job creation and equitable wealth-building opportunities. He was selected to lead the development project for his globally acclaimed accomplishments in real estate development in Philadelphia and nationwide, as well as his dedication to local philanthropy and investments in Philadelphia startups.&nbsp;&nbsp;

“The Philadelphia 76ers’ extensive evaluation of potential sites for an arena over the past two years culminates today with plans to pursue the Fashion District Philadelphia site as the proposed new home of the team,” said Adelman. “The chosen location is a key step in the process of developing a destination that provides Center City and surrounding communities with an economic engine generating activity through 76ers and youth games, concerts, events and more.”&nbsp;

76 Devcorp carefully evaluated numerous potential sites before determining Fashion District Philadelphia as its preferred location. The site was selected primarily due to it being the most transit-rich location in all of Philadelphia, the ability to redevelop an existing commercial space, and the opportunity to play a role in the continued revitalization of Center City.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The Development Corporation will partner closely with Macerich, the managing partner of the owning entities and operator of Fashion District Philadelphia, to realize the full potential of the site. “At Macerich, we are constantly enhancing our properties to bring greater value to our shareholders, retailers and communities,” said Tom O’Hern, CEO of Macerich. “The decision to repurpose part of Fashion District Philadelphia to include the&nbsp; new 76ers arena is a natural evolution of the site and a unique and once in a lifetime opportunity for our company. We are committed to working collaboratively with 76 Devcorp to bring to life the vision of this iconic development that will ensure Philadelphia’s vibrancy for generations to come.”&nbsp;

A robust community engagement process is planned to ensure community interests help drive the plans for the proposed development and that it fits within the context of surrounding communities, while also being responsive to the needs of adjacent neighborhoods. In the spirit of this project being mutually beneficial for the Sixers and the broader Philadelphia community, 76 Devcorp anticipates partnering with surrounding community development groups to create a Community Benefits Agreement that ensures the forthcoming arena has a positive impact from the start of construction to opening and beyond.&nbsp;&nbsp;

“Our pledge is to advance equitable, community-driven revitalization through this project and to ensure the arena is a win for fans, Philadelphia and the surrounding communities,” said David Gould, 76ers Chief Diversity and Impact Officer. “We look forward to listening to and working with the local community, including local organizations, businesses and residents, especially in Chinatown and Washington Square West, to develop a Community Benefits Agreement that results in long-term positive impact.”

Led by HBSE’s $20 million commitment to address disparities created by systemic racism, the Development Corporation is committed to investing in under-resourced communities to advance equitable, community-driven revitalization. A major tenet of the project will be equitable development, bringing community members to the table via new jobs and co-development roles. 76 Devcorp will collaborate with Mosaic Development Partners, a Black-owned, Philadelphia-based real estate development company with experience in affordable housing and inclusive communities. In January, Josh Harris invested $10 million into Mosaic Development Partners to support their innovative work to expand equitable development across Philadelphia communities.&nbsp;

The new, privately-funded arena is anticipated to cost approximately $1.3 billion. The arena will provide $1.9 billion in overall economic output during construction and $400 million annually upon opening to support Philadelphia's long-term economic growth and sustainability.&nbsp;&nbsp;

“We’re excited for the opportunity to build the future home of the 76ers in Center City,” said David Blitzer, 76ers Co-Managing Partner. “I look forward to working with David Adelman and his team to develop and build an impactful arena for our fans, our players and the City of Philadelphia.”

The development will be completed in time for the 2031-2032 NBA season. Ground-breaking for the proposed&nbsp; project is not expected for several years. The general public and fans can stay up to date on the progress of the development project by visiting 76Place.com.&nbsp;

“Quite simply put, there is no better place to build an arena in Philadelphia than in Center City, with its robust public transit infrastructure and existing dynamic businesses eager to serve fans and visitors alike. 76 Devcorp is inspired by many successful sports and entertainment arenas built in dense urban centers that promote integration with the surrounding communities. We’re dedicated to making sure this development is a win for our fans and Philadelphia at large,” said Adelman.&nbsp;
