Anchored by Hall of Fame forward Dolph Schayes and owned by Danny Biasone — the man credited with inventing the 24-second shot clock that saved professional basketball — the Nats were one of the league's model franchises and one of its toughest outs. They won the NBA championship in 1955.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe 1955 Championship\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Nats' crowning achievement came in 1955, when Syracuse won the NBA Finals over the Fort Wayne Pistons in a seven-game classic — the first NBA championship decided under the new 24-second shot clock, a rule pioneered by the Nats' own owner. Dolph Schayes led a roster that defined hard-nosed 1950s basketball.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrom Syracuse to Philadelphia\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the 1962–63 season the franchise relocated to Philadelphia, where it was renamed and continues to this day as one of the NBA's flagship clubs. But the title, the shot clock and the golden age belong to Syracuse — which is exactly what makes a Nationals throwback such a meaningful deep cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Venue — Onondaga County War Memorial\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Nats played their home games at the Onondaga County War Memorial in downtown Syracuse, one of the loudest, most intimidating arenas in the early NBA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMore Frequently Asked Questions About the Syracuse Nationals\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen did the Syracuse Nationals exist?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the 1940s through the 1962–63 season, when the franchise moved to Philadelphia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDid the Nationals win a championship?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the 1955 NBA title over the Fort Wayne Pistons, the first decided under the 24-second shot clock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I find related Royal Retros collections?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Nationals connect to the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/other-basketball\"\u003eLegacy Basketball collection\u003c\/a\u003e, the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/upstate-new-york\"\u003eUpstate New York\u003c\/a\u003e regional collection, and our broader basketball lineup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"tagline\" style=\"text-align: center; margin-top: 32px; font-size: 1.15em;\"\u003eSyracuse Nationals at Royal Retros — Authentic 1955 NBA Champions Throwbacks.
