Allen Iverson is Allen Iverson. "#3" is pound for pound one of the greatest players to ever play in the 76ers organization. He could score at will. The one flaw on A.I. is that some say that he was a player who ,over the years, has been unable to play with another superstar. The 76ers have put him with Larry Hughes, Keith Van Horn, Glenn Robinson, Toni Kukoc, Chris Webber, and others. All of these players have been "busts" when playing alongside of Iverson. Once they left, they became big time players.

Backup Small Forward: #24 Bobby Jones

One of the best defenders in the 76ers organization played on the 1982-1983 team. His name was Bobby Jones. Bobby Jones was a burst of energy off the bench that year as well as a burst of great defense. Jones was the 1982-1983 Sixth Man of the Year as well as a member of the NBA All-Defensive Team. For his defensive ability, Bobby Jones is apart of this team.

Backup Power Forward: #34 Charles Barkley

Charles Barkley was a 6'4" power forward. He played very similar to Moses Malone. He was small for his position but was very strong and powerful. "Sir Charles" was a rebounding machine. He didn't care who he was going against, the rebound was his!

Backup Center: #4 Dolph Schayes

6'8" Forward/Center Dolph Schayes was a scorer and rebounder for the Syracuse Nationals. Schayes played like a man bigger than what he was. He was a dominating force in the low post. He was a 6 time All-NBA First Team member as well as a 12 time NBA All-Star.

 

This team was based primarily on skills and accomplishments by each player. Some of these players whether both backups or both starters were at one time teammates. So, for some of these players, it was about talent but who else was added to the team may have been based on chemistry with one of the previously mentioned players.
