Serious question: How do we determine franchise records with different cities/teams. I have been mystified by this for years. As a Sixers fan, it feels like every year there's some kind of day dedicated to Wilt's 100-point game. But that game happened on the Philadelphia WARRIORS, who are now the GS Warriors. The modern Sixers developed from the Syracuse Nationals, who had famous players such as Dolph Schayes, who is considered one of the greatest Sixers, and the 1955 championship won by the Nationals hangs from the rafters. And yet, the Philadelphia Warriors and Syracuse Nationals played each other back then! Would either team's championship victory count as a chip for the modern Sixers organization? It seems like both teams have been absorbed into the collective Sixers history. What's up with this?

tl;dr do when we talk about "franchise history" are we talking about the city, or the team itself?
