Imagine being a teenager in high school and sharing a house with the biggest basketball star on the planet. This was the life Dave Richman lived for a few months in 1965. That winter, Dave's father, 76ers founder and owner Ike Richman, pulled off a stunning trade to bring Wilt Chamberlain back to Philadelphia to play for the recently-formed Sixers. A lot of people know the story of Chamberlain's impact on the then-fledgling team, but some of the stories that happened behind the scenes are just as fascinating. Hear Dave Richman, former 76er and Chamberlain teammate Wali Jones, and 94.1 WIP's Howard Eskin share memories of the Big Dipper with The Jawncast's Brian Seltzer and KYW Newsradio's Dave Uram a few days before what would have been Chamberlain's 86th birthday. Check out Richman's book and podcast, and Jones' podcast as well! Follow us on Twitter: @TheJawncast.

Hey, it's Adam here. A quick podcast update for you as we near the end of the first week of July, 2021. Here's a snapshot of what's happening behind the scenes. I have two conversations recorded that are yet to be edited. The first features Joanne Borzakian Ouellette. Joanne worked with Reebok for over 16 years. From 1985, as a Marketing and Promotions Manager, before assuming the role of Global Marketing Director NBA Basketball in 1992 – where she spent almost ten years building long-term industry relationships and friendships with some of the biggest names in the game, including Hall of Famer, Shaquille O'Neal. Her family are candidates for the title of Greatest Boston Celtics fans ever – their lineage stretches back almost five decades. We had a wonderful chat about Joanne's remarkable life in basketball. The second recording is part one of my conversation with Wali Jones. He starred in college at Villanova, before entering the NBA and earning an All-Rookie selection in 1965 and winning an NBA championship in 1967 as a key member of one of the most-dominant teams in history - the Philadelphia 76ers. Wali discusses his memories of being teammates with the iconic Wilt Chamberlain and much more. Numerous topic-based episodes are also in the works. Fans of Tom Chambers would be wise to keep an eye on the podcast feed over the coming months. Plus, upcoming episodes will feature authors discussing a range of great basketball books.

In honor of Moses Malone’s jersey retirement and sculpture unveiling , we present our ‘Memories of Moses Malone’ podcast series, featuring interviews with members of the 76ers family who knew Malone well. In Episode 1, longtime Sixers guard Wali Jones recalls his first-hand interactions with a rookie Malone, who had skipped college to go pro in the ABA.

Fresh off the All-Star game weekend, Wali and Coach give their opinions on the game and the activities of the weekend. You might be surprised at what they have to say.

Curtis Harris of Pro Hoops History joins us again to discuss the 1967 Philadelphia 76ers, the record-setting team that ended the Boston Celtics' 8-year championship streak, on the latest episode of the Over and Back Classic NBA Podcast. We talk about Curtis' project with the 76ers called Spirit of the Champion (http://www.nba.com/sixers/spiritofthechampion), commemorating the 68-win championship team that is on the short list of greatest teams in pro basketball history, and what it was like to attend the team's 50th anniversary dinner. We look at how the team fits at a key juncture in NBA history, when the ABA and expansion began to dramatically change the sport. We discuss how the franchise transitioned from the Syracuse Nationals in the early 1960s, how established stars like Hal Greer and Chet Walker adjusted to Wilt Chamberlain joining the team in 1965, the brutal playoff losses to the Celtics (including "Havlicek stole the ball" in 1965), what in Chamberlain's game changed in 1967, and how coach Alex Hannum knew how to work with superstars and bench players and everyone in between. We also discuss the smooth shooting and rugged defense of Greer, Walker's clutch scoring, Billy Cunningham springing all over the court, Luke Jackson's prowess on the boards, Wali Jones' perimeter freedom, and Larry Costello being the old man of the team. We also talk about the contributions of the tough Dave Gambee, rookie Matt Guokas, Bill Melchionni and Bob Weiss, and what ended up preventing the Sixers from becoming a dynasty.
