2004–05 Philadelphia 76ers season

The 2004–05 Philadelphia 76ers season was the 66th season of the franchise, 56th in the National Basketball Association (NBA).[1] During the offseason, the Sixers acquired Corliss Williamson from the Detroit Pistons. Under new head coach Jim O'Brien, the Sixers played mediocre basketball losing 12 of their first 18 games. At midseason, the team traded Williamson back to the Sacramento Kings for All-Star forward Chris Webber, and traded Glenn Robinson, who had not played this season due to tendinitis in his left ankle, to the New Orleans Hornets for Jamal Mashburn. However, Webber struggled to adjust to his new surroundings, and Mashburn was already out for the entire season with a knee injury. The Sixers managed to win eight of their final ten games, finishing second in the Atlantic Division with a 43–39 record.

In the first round of the playoffs, they lost in five games to the defending champion Detroit Pistons. Following the season, O'Brien was fired after one season coaching the Sixers, Aaron McKie signed as a free agent with the Los Angeles Lakers, and Mashburn retired.

For the season, Allen Iverson won his fifth and final scoring title of his career as well as being selected to the 2005 NBA All-Star Game in Denver, where he was the game's MVP. Top draft pick Andre Iguodala was selected to the All-Rookie First Team.
