2008-09 Magee Sixers Spokesmen

2007-2008 Spokesmen

This 2008-2009 season is the 12th year in a partnership between Magee and the Philadelphia 76ers. We are one of 19 squads in the country that are associated with NBA teams. The Spokesmen are part of the Sixers family and participate in many of their community events to help promote wheelchair basketball including the Sixers Hoops Tour and the Sixers Open Practice.

The Magee Sixers Spokesmen were initially founded as the Philadelphia Spokesmen by Dan Sullivan and Alice Nagel in 1978. Over the past 30 years, they have been Mid-Atlantic Conference Champions nine times. During this time, the team has introduced hundreds of wheelchair users to the sport of wheelchair basketball. The Spokesmen continue to emphasize their goal introducing new athletes to the sport, sponsoring both elite and developmental teams.

This year, the Spokesmen will be traveling throughout the country participating in tournaments in Baltimore, Las Vegas, Lexington, Maryland, and Denver.

On January 14, 2009, the Magee Sixers Spokesmen will play an exhibition game during halftime of the Sixers vs. Trailblazers game.
