How do you get to an NBA championship?

You won’t find any of these things inside an NBA practice facility.

In most cases, it’s the time of year when players whose contracts are up decide to sign with a new team or re-sign with their current one.

But a team’s practice facility can certainly color a deal too.

By far, players spend the most time where they practice and, in today’s league, training is essentially year-round.

By next summer, the Sixers, the only team without its own practice facility, hope to open an $82 million, 120,000-square-foot facility across the Delaware River in Camden, about a 10-minute ride from Center City.

Twenty years ago, a few teams had their own practice facilities, but a lot more shared space with colleges in the area.

McKie was a Portland Trailblazer then and the team’s space at Lewis & Clark College was nothing special by today’s standards even for some NCAA teams.

The team has practiced at PCOM — The Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine on City Line Avenue since 1999.

Unlike in some pro leagues, contract dollars are 100 percent guaranteed in the NBA and so, more often than not, it’s the team that will take the hit if a player gets hurt.

If that means building an expensive, high-tech practice facility — so be it.
