When Moses Malone signed with Philly they automatically became threats to the likes of the Celtics and the Lakers. The Sixers had lost to the Lakers in the Finals the year before (1981-1982) and Moses was the missing ingredient. Dr. J with his high-wire act complimented by Malone’s prowess in the paint was too much for teams to handle. Moses famously predicted an undefeated playoff run with the words, “fo’, fo’, fo’.” The Sixers delivered with a 12-1 record during the ’83 playoffs, sweeping the big, bad Lakers during the Finals with their only loss coming against the Bucks during the Eastern Conference Finals.
