Philadelphia 76ers: The Philadelphia 76ers organization sends its condolences to the family of Jim Tucker, a member of our 1955 Syracuse Nationals championship team, who passed away this week. Jim and Earl Lloyd were the first two African-American players ever to capture an @NBA Title. His impact on the game and culture of basketball is impossible to overstate. A true trailblazer, Jim will be missed, though forever remembered as an ambassador to the league and its players.
