F- Julius Erving: 1976-1987

Erving was an All-Star in all 11 of his NBA seasons and was a member of seven All-NBA Teams (5x First Team, 2x Second Team). He averaged greater than 20 points per game in all but two of his NBA seasons. His best season came during the 1980-1981 season, a season in which he was named the league MVP. In that season, Erving averaged 24.6 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 4.4 assists per game. The 76ers won 62 games that season and reached the Eastern Conference Finals.
Although Erving had tremendous success as an individual, the 76ers as a team also had immense success. The team made the playoffs in all 11 of his seasons, reaching the NBA Finals three times, winning one in 1983. F- Charles Barkley:
