What the Sixers Need to be a dominate team next season

The Sixers haven't been the most exiting electrifying team in the NBA, but this year the organization stepped it up and took the team to a new level.

The Sixers last season had a loosing record and clearly where not the "team to beat" in the East. This is a title that every team looks to hold and hope they can achieve that gaol. The Sixers have not been even close to a title since Allen Iverson and the La Lakers went at it in the Finals in 2001.

Every championship caliber team we have seen in the past couple years is always lead by a superstar caliber player, a leader in other words. The Sixers lack that and this is very important in order to be a dominate team in the NBA. The Sixers are a team with one or two future stars and the rest of the guys very good players. This might sound good, but in a competitive sport like basketball and in the NBA, good is not good enough.

The Sixers now in the 2010-2011 season the Sixers had a wining season due to the leadership of head coach Doug Collins, he took this team from nothing into the playoffs. This year the Sixers got into the first round of the playoffs and hit a speed bump because they had to face the most talked about team in the NBA, the HEAT. The series is now 3-1, but a victory in game 4 to not get swept was a big deal on Easter day, a big deal because it shows the heart and desire the team has to win. Even 3 games down they face elimination but still fight till the end and win. The team is young and need a superstar.

For the Sixers to make a run in the playoffs they need a leader, an electrifying superstar that can get a triple double on any given night. With a star that can do that, the supporting cast around them is strong enough with the young talented Sixers team now.
