Being put on a poster not only means the other team scored on you, but your goofy face as you react to it will be plastered all over social media. And maybe even on a poster on some kid's wall. But when it is your team's player pulling off the poster dunk, there are few things that get you out of your seat faster. And the Sixers are no strangers to big-time dunks.
Joel Embiid alone has several poster-worthy dunks. The rightful MVP is certainly not afraid of contact near the rim. Despite the cries from Jokic fans, there is a reason Embiid gets to the line so much. Because having him shoot FTs is better than the alternative. Which is him driving to the time and stealing some guy's soul with an explosive dunk. But it is not just him. Several Sixers players are responsible for eye-popping dunks this season. Including one guy who hasn't even stepped on the court in a Sixers game this season. But he put on quite a show in the dunk contest.
So here are 11 times, Embiid, Tobias Harris, Paul Reed, Montrezl Harris, and Mac McClung all had poster-worthy dunks this season.
Philadelphia 76ers v Charlotte Hornets

Tobias Harris isn't as well known for his dunks as other guys on this team. But he certainly got one over on Mason Plumlee back in November
Indiana Pacers v Philadelphia 76ers

Montrezl Harrell hasn't worked out so well for the Sixers this season. But when he is on on the floor, there is one thing he does very well. Dunk. And he dunked on one of the best shot blockers in the NBA, Myles Turner, earlier this season.
Philadelphia 76ers v Washington Wizards

Neither Daniel Gafford #21 or Deni Avdija #9 of the Washington Wizards wanted anything to do with contesting this Embiid dunk. Can you blame them? Probably would not have ended well if they did go up to try and block him.
Brooklyn Nets v Philadelphia 76ers

Harrell is not the only backup big who can fly. Paul Reed has had some big dunks of his own. Including this one over Joe Harris of the Nets back in November. It was 2 of his 19 points on the night as he helped lead the Sixers to a win despite Joel Embiid not playing that night.
Orlando Magic v Philadelphia 76ers

You do not want to be in Joel Embiid's way when he has a head of steam. As Paolo Banchero of the Magic learned in January. Banchero probably made the right choice not jumping to try and block it. But it still didn't look great for him.
2023 NBA All Star - AT&T Slam Dunk Contest

It wasn't in a game, and he hasn't actually played for the Sixers this season. but we cant have a list of great Sixers dunks this season and not bring up Mac McClung's performance at the Dunk contest. he not only won, but nearly had 4 perfect scores. Including this dunk where he leaped over a man before finished with a backwards dunk.
Indiana Pacers v Philadelphia 76ers

Tobias Harris came in with another poster in January. This time over Aaron Nesmith of the Pacers.
Memphis Grizzlies v Philadelphia 76ers

What is better than a poster over one player? One over two. Jarren Jackson and Brandon Clarke both tried to stop this Paul Reed dunk. It did not work out for them.
Philadelphia 76ers v Washington Wizards

Montrezl Harrell despite not playing much of late, still had multiple posters this season. The other coming back in December when he dunked on Daniel Gafford #21 of the Washington Wizards.
Philadelphia 76ers v New Orleans Pelicans

Not exactly a poster, because Willy Hernangomez of the Pelicans mostly just stood there and watched. but Embiid dunking while Willy recoils still makes for a great image.
Charlotte Hornets v Philadelphia 76ers

Despite Kelly Oubre Jr hanging right over top of him, Embiid finished this monster dunk back in December.
