Perspective on Lakers streak mirrors 1967 76ers season
The Lakers 39-4 pace matches the 1966-67 76ers at this point as Wilt Chamberlain anchors a tougher league with a stronger supporting cast. The 76ers finished 68-13 and won the title, coached by Alex Hannum, with a guard corps led by Hal Greer and Billy Cunningham, while the current Bucks and Lakers resemble that era in style.
