In 1982, Moses Malone of the Houston Rockets and Julius Erving of the Philadelphia 76ers were two of the top three players in the world. Both were on the All-NBA first team. Erving was the dominant player of his era at his position, and Malone was the most powerful force inside.

Both had led their teams to the Finals before, and lost. Both were desperate to win.

In the summer of that year, Moses Malone was acquired by the 76ers to form, with Julius Erving, one of the most potent one-two combinations the league had ever seen. That team went on to win 65 games in the regular season, then romped through the playoffs, going 12-1 en route to a championship.
