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 offseason, the Sixers signed free agent Bruce Bowen while acquiring Billy Owens from the Orlando Magic. At midseason, the Sixers traded Owens along with 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. However, Bowen was released and signed with the Miami Heat. The Sixers won seven of their final nine games, and finished third in the Atlantic Division with a 49–33 record. Allen Iverson averaged 28.4 points per game, and made his first All-Star appearance as he was selected for the 2000 NBA All-Star Game in Oakland. He was also named to the All-NBA Second Team. In the first round of the playoffs, the Sixers defeated the 4th-seeded Charlotte Hornets in four games, but would lose in six games to the Indiana Pacers in the semifinals.
