Lore & Background
The actual factions of Philadelphia basketball history are defined by eras and team identities rather than intergalactic allegiances. Groups like the Broad Street Bullets or the 'Process' era represent real historical shifts in the franchise's identity. Maintaining accuracy requires distinguishing between these genuine historical periods and external fictional concepts that share no factual connection to the team's operations, players, or fanbase.
In Their Own Story
A fan walks into a local sports bar where a mural depicts basketball legends. They pause at a section labeled with sci-fi terminology, realizing it is a decorative error on the wall. The true history of the franchise lies in the hardwood achievements of stars like Dr. J and Allen Iverson, not in fictional space operas.
