As one of the most successful NBL clubs, the Adelaide 36ers are a key part of the National Basketball League in Australia. Known as the Adelaide City Eagles when they joined the NBL in 1982, the club changed its name to the Adelaide 36ers in 1983 reflecting the city's settlement in 1836. The Adelaide 36ers have been the most successful club in the NBL's history. In 2003, the 36ers were the defending NBL Champions having defeated the West Sydney Razorbacks 2-1 in the best-of-three 2002 Grand Final series, and as of that year had won three of the last six titles. Overall, the 36ers have reached the playoffs in almost every one of their seasons, and on top of their four championships in 1986, back-to-back in1998, 1999 and followed by an exceptional championship win in 2002, the Adelaide 36ers also reached the Grand Finals in 1985 and 1994. After winning the 1999 NBL Championship, the 36ers were invited to participate in the World Club Championships in Milan. Their opponents included many of Europe, Asia and America's best teams, and were highlighted by the participation of the NBA's San Antonio Spurs. Many of the NBL's greatest players have worn 36ers colours during their career and include the likes of rebounding-champion Mark Davis, current captain and Sydney 2000 Olympian Brett Maher, three-time NBL Best Defensive Player Darnell Mee, and dynamic guards Mike McKay, Al Green and Darryl Pearce. Brett Maher, a veteran of 17 NBL seasons, has proven to be the inspirational captain of the 36ers in their last three championships, and competed for Australia at the 1996 and 2000 Olympic Games, as well as the 1998 World Championships.
