The 76ers paid tribute to the late Moses Malone, a three-time NBA MVP and one of basketball’s most ferocious rebounders, with a sculpture and a jersey retirement ceremony.

The Sixers unveiled the sculpture Friday morning at their practice facility. They retired Malone’s No. 2 jersey during halftime of Friday’s 117-110 win over the Nuggets.

Malone was a 13-time All-Star, Hall of Fame inductee and a member of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA history. In 1983, he helped the 76ers roll through the playoffs and sweep the Lakers — the last time they won a championship. He returned to the 76ers for the 1993-1994 season.
