Every player in Philadelphia 76ers history who has worn No. 15

Here is a list of the seven players who have worn the legendary No. 15 in the history of the Philadelphia 76ers.

It’s summertime in the NBA, so it’s time to learn some history. The Philadelphia 76ers are one of the older franchises in the NBA. Their history dates to the 1949-50 season.

With that longevity, the team has had hundreds of players come through the City of Brotherly Love. Sixers Wire looks at the No. 15, which has been worn by seven of those players in the history of the franchise and it is retired at the Wells Fargo Center.

This running series will go through all of the uniform numbers worn in franchise history. The previous edition of this series was a list compiling the 10 players who have worn the No. 16.

These are all the Hall of Famers who also wore Bill Russell’s No. 6 jersey ahead of its cross-NBA retirement

We thought it important to remind ourselves of the other Hall of Famers who’ve worn No. 6 over the decades.

The NBA will retire Boston Celtics Hall of Fame big man Bill Russell’s No. 6 on all 30 teams to honor the late, great center. However, Russell is not the only Hall of Fame player who wore the number during their historic careers.

The global nature of Russell number retirement is, of course, as much related to him being the ultimate winner on the court with 11 titles, 13 All-Star appearances, five Most Valuable Player awards and more accolades than we can reasonably list here as to his work off the court using his platform to fight for the rights of others at great risk to himself.

And while players currently wearing the No. 6 jersey can do so until they switch to another or retire themselves, we thought it important to remind ourselves of the other Hall of Famers who’ve worn No. 6 over the decades.

Let’s take a look at them all.

Ranking the top five point guards in the storied history of the Sixers

We have ranked the top 5 point guards in the history of the Philadelphia 76ers.

The point guard position has undergone plenty of changes throughout the history of the NBA. The evolution has included moving from being mainly pass-first a la Jason Kidd and Steve Nash to thinking scoring like Stephen Curry, Damian Lillard, and Russell Westbrook.

The Philadelphia 76ers have had plenty of great point guards in their history and in this edition, we’re going to rank the top five in the history of the franchise. The list is going to be based on numbers and accomplishments with the Sixers such as placement on all-time lists. Also, just a disclaimer, Allen Iverson will be included with the shooting guards.

With that said, it’s time to get into this in reverse order.
