One may not know this, but the all-time leading scorer in the history of the Philadelphia 76ers is not Allen Iverson or Julius Erving or Charles Barkley. Maybe Wilt Chamberlain? Nope.
It’s the great Hal Greer with 21,586 points.
Greer spent the entirety of his 15-year career with the Sixers with career averages of 19.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 4.0 assists while leading the franchise to a title in 1967. He and Chamberlain formed a formidable duo on the floor and grabbed the franchise its second of three titles the Sixers have won.
HoopsHype ranked the top 20 shooting guards in the history of the NBA and Greer comes in ranked No. 13:
One of the best and underrated guards of the 1960s, Hal Greer was an All-Star 10 times that decade and an All-NBA 2nd Teamer seven times, helping lead the Philadelphia 76ers to a championship in 1966-67 alongside Chamberlain in what was one of the most slept-on guard-big duos in league history.
Greer’s No. 15 hangs from the rafters at the Wells Fargo Center as his impact on Sixers history is an obvious one. He was an automatic bucket during his time in the league and was able help Philadelphia hoist the Larry O’Brien trophy.
