Small Forward: Andre Iguodala
Andre Iguodala aka “Iggy” is a Sixers legend. However, his time in Philly during the 2010s was actually a brief one. He played on the Sixers for just two seasons (2010-2012) before being shipped away to Denver in that mess of an Andrew Bynum trade that we all love so dearly.
Despite playing just 129 regular-season games for Philly in the 2010s, his impact was undoubtedly special. He averaged just over 12 points per game while helping lead the Sixers (with Holiday) to two consecutive playoff appearances. Iggy also was selected to the All-Star game in the 2011-2012 season and was awarded a spot on the All-Defensive 2nd team that year.
Iggy’s main inclusion on this list actually extends past his time in Philadelphia. Iguodala spent six seasons with Golden State between 2013 and 2019 where he won three NBA rings, one Finals MVP (2015), while also seeing his playoff log for the decade rise to 125 games. Iggy’s role as a 3x world champion made him a must include in our starting five.
Power Forward: Tobias Harris
This position was easily the most difficult decision I had to make. Longtime Sixer Thaddeus Young wins in terms of tenure with the team whereas Tobias Harris wins in terms of production. Ultimately I went with Tobi simply out of the notion that if I’m building the best team with players the Sixers had during the 2010s, he should probably be on the list.
As I’m writing this, Harris has played just 63 games as a 76er. Despite that seeming like not quite nearly enough to label him as one of the franchise’s “best players of the decade”, the numbers speak for themselves. Since arriving in Philly, Harris has averaged 18.9 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 3 assists per game, all while shooting over 47% from the field.
Harris was part of an uber “win now” trade package last offseason which for the most part was relatively successful. Tobi averaged 15.5 points per game during that entire postseason run as he and the Sixers took the would-be NBA champs all the way to the final shot of Game 7.
Similar to Iguodala, Harris also had huge success last decade outside of Philly. In the seven and a half seasons before becoming a 76er, Harris consistently averaged over 15 points per game. He was also a staple of durability, playing in all 82 regular season games twice in his career (2016-2017, 2018-2019).
