Pasquale “Pat” Croce graced the cover of Success magazine as the first person to ascend from the training room to the boardroom of a professional sports team. His remarkable success as a physical therapist and pioneer in the sports medicine field culminated in his purchase of the Philadelphia 76ers in 1996, leading to the resurrection of the team from last place to an NBA championship contender. During his five-year tenure as President, the team rose from to first in the NBA standings and broke franchise records in attendance, revenue, merchandise, and consecutive wins on the way to the NBA Championships against the Los Angeles Lakers in 2001.
