Pat Croce Biography


Pat Croce is an American entrepreneur and former owner of the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers. Originally hired as a physical therapist by the 76ers, Croce would go on to start the Sports Physical Therapists business, growing it into a multi-million dollar corporation before selling it in 1993. In 1996, Croce was named the team president of the 76ers after buying the team with Ed Snider and Comcast, turning the 76ers from a last place basement dweller to a top ten team, reaching the NBA Finals in 2001. Eventually, Croce left his role as team president, and although he still remains a partial owner, does not have any control over the basketball operations. After leaving the team, Croce would go on to invest and start many businesses, including a pirate museum, a colonial history museum, Islands Dog Bar, and many others. He has also written various books about his career, and does part time sports broadcasting for NBC.

Pat Croce

Pat Croce was featured on the cover of Success magazine as the first person to ascend from the training room to the boardroom of a professional sports team. His transformation from a pioneering physical therapist in the sports medicine field to the vibrant leader who revitalized the Philadelphia 76ers as an NBA championship contender is widely recognized in sports history.

Through his focus on customer service and business acumen, Croce developed Sports Physical Therapists, a sports medicine empire with 40 centers across 11 states, into a top-ten finalist for the prestigious Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. After selling his company, he channeled his entrepreneurial energy and relentless positivity into acquiring the NBA's then-struggling Philadelphia 76ers in 1996. During his five-year presidency, the team dramatically improved from the worst to first in the NBA standings, breaking franchise records in attendance, revenue, merchandise sales, and consecutive wins, culminating in a face-off in the NBA Championships against the Los Angeles Lakers in 2001.
