An NBA legend declared the Philadelphia 76ers the best team in the league during an appearance on ESPN's Tip-Off show, according to a report published November 6, 2026.
The claim came as the 76ers prepared for a matchup against the Detroit Pistons on November 4, 2026, at Little Caesars Arena. In that game, center Joel Embiid was photographed driving past Pistons guard Cade Cunningham.
The legend's identity and the full context of the statement were not disclosed in the initial report.
