The 1998 Adelaide 36ers - legendary team
Today we feature the '98 Adelaide 36ers (and no, we haven't forgotten about an earlier legendary Adelaide team).

In 1998 when debutante coach Phil Smyth recruited Paul Rees
to play alongside former NBA pair Darnell Mee and Kevin Brooks, the
Clipsal Powerhouse was hanging the “sold out” sign at every home game.
The 36ers turned their fortunes around under Smyth and finished the
regular season in 2nd place with a 19-11 record. They won through to the
1998 NBL Grand Final series to face the heavily favoured South East
Melbourne Magic that many thought were the greatest team of all time.
Adelaide stunned the Magic and swept the series to claim the clubs first
championship since 1986. Kevin Brooks was named the Grand Final MVP in
what was the last ever winter season for the NBL.
