1966-67 NBA Season Standings

The Philadelphia 76ers, led by Wilt Chamberlain, posted a then-record 68-13 mark and won the NBA championship, ending the Boston Celtics' run of eight consecutive titles by beating the San Francisco Warriors 4-2 in the Finals. That 76ers roster, built around Chamberlain, Hal Greer, and Billy Cunningham under coach Alex Hannum, is still regarded by many historians as one of the greatest single-season teams basketball has ever produced, snapping a dynasty that had seemed unbreakable through eight straight championships. The league fielded only 10 teams this season, split into a single Eastern Division and a single Western Division rather than the conference structure used in later decades, with the regular season expanded to 81 games from the 80-game schedule of the previous year. Boston's 60-21 mark was itself one of the best records in franchise history, yet it wasn't enough to overcome Philadelphia's historic campaign.

Sourcing caveat: The NBA's actual terminology this season was 'Eastern Division' and 'Western Division,' not 'conferences'; 'Eastern/Western Conference' is used here only for consistency with this dataset's labeling convention.
