His 295 assists also ranked ninth-best total in the league in 2020.

With this trade, 76ers GC will head into the offseason with first, second, and third-round picks in the NBA 2K League Draft.

76ers Gaming Club Catch-Up with Coach Jeff Terrell

# results[].description
Seated on an Indianapolis stage, headsets on under the bright lights, five 76ers Gaming Club players and their coach will compete for $1 million. 76ers GC enters the NBA 2K League playoffs as the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference. Led by MVP-candidate Dre, the team’s 20-year-old point guard, they will begin play on Thursday evening after a first-round bye. Head Coach and General Manager Jeff Terrell joined the 76ers Insiders podcast to discuss the league, the season, and much more. Below are some excerpts from the conversation. https://open.spotify.com/episode/3qaLfRe5Zne6X8FYU12cAs
The Game
Why do you think 2K is so popular? “2K gives you a different avenue. Obviously you have people that just love playing video games, but I think it’s six percent of [basketball players] who get out of high school and go play in college. So, think about all those kids that have been a part of a sports team growing up, now you can go play 2K, online. It’s not about how tall you are or how athletic you are. Everybody can play it. I think it gives everybody an opportunity to be good, and it gives some players an opportunity to be great. What our league provides is an opportunity. That’s on the player side, the coaching side, the GM side, and it’s been really special to be a part of and watch it grow and evolve year after year.”
The League
What is something that you wish more people knew about the NBA 2K League, or something that you think is misunderstood? “A lot of people don’t understand that these guys are leaving their families for six months. They think these guys are just playing at home, and that’s not the case in our league. All players are drafted and they move into their respective markets. They’re practicing day in and day out. There are no easy or short days, they’re working hard. Our work is a lot different than going and working in a factory, or working outside in landscaping. But you have to have a strong mental in this. You’re playing a video game for 8 to 12 hours a day. I think just the work ethic of these guys and just how passionate and how hard they work is something that’s misunderstood. It is fun and it’s a blessing to play a video game, but when you’re competing for $2.6 million, it’s a little more than just a video game at that point.” How have you learned to balance being away during the season, seeing your family only when the team’s schedule allows, compared to being with them the rest of the year? “When I’m there, I’m very active. I’m with them all day long. I make sure they know they’re my main priority and that I love them a ton. When I’m away, I FaceTime them a ton, probably to where it’s a little annoying I’m sure at times. I just always want them to know that I love them, I’m thinking about them, and I care about them. I know it’s probably tough for them with their dad not being there all the time, but they also love this league. They love watching the games. They think it’s the coolest thing in the world... Hopefully we can bring a championship home and it’s something they can brag about.”
The Team
What are your top takeaways from the regular season? “My biggest takeaway this year is just how we fought through adversity. Both tournaments, we’ve had trades that got leaked before they happened, which is tough. That happens in a lot of sports, but our guys…they fought. They got through adversity, they put it to the side, and they fought through it. With this being such a new league, people have to understand that not everything’s going to be handled the correct way because people have never been in those situations to handle those moments. Unfortunately some of our trades got leaked and we fought through it and made it to the Finals, and [also] won a tournament. I think fighting through adversity was one of my biggest takeaways. “I think the best thing that ever happened to us was the Sav [630] trade. Getting 630 was a special day for me because 630 reached out to me last year and really, really wanted to be here. I think for teams to be successful in this league, you have to have players that want to be there and want to work every day, and won’t take the opportunity for granted… It’s special to have him and Dre together. They’ve been really incredible together on court and off court. Dre’s come out of his shell more off court, having somebody that he can relate to a little more. Those are two of the biggest takeaways that I have from our season so far.” What makes Dre, who just turned 20, such a special player? “I think the biggest thing for me is just how intelligent he is. He’s so smart on and off the court. Last year, him coming into the league as a 19 year old trying to fill the shoes of who everybody says is the 2K League GOAT in Radiant, I think he did a hell of a job. He was unbelievable. He had a lot of learning moments as a player. He really grew over this offseason. His leadership, to me, is getting right where it needs to be. There’s always going to be something that you can improve on, but he’s growing. The day that I talked to him and I told him I was going to draft him, I was like ‘Man, don’t worry about filling Radiant’s shoes. You be Dre.’ And it’s a project. I’m not expecting you to come in and be Radiant. I want you to be yourself. We joked about it the other day and he was like ‘Thank you so much for just believing in me.’ But I said ‘You did that, though. I can believe in you all I want, but if you don’t take the initiative and do what you’re supposed to do, it’s not going to work out.’ He’s worked really hard, he’s being a great teammate, and there’s not more I can ask of him.” What are you most proud of during your five seasons with 76ers GC? “That’s a super tough one. You know, we’ve been to the Finals. We’ve won some banners. But, honestly, my proudest moment is when guys are out of the league and they’ll write me a message or call me. I had Bell’s palsy this year…I had a player call me at like 7 a.m. and he said ‘Jeff, I’m so sorry. How are you? How’s the family? Are you going to be okay?’ Just the connections that I’ve made over the last five years with players, and Sixers personnel, that’s something that’s going to carry on longer with me than just winning a game or something like that. The relationships I’ve built are something that I hold pretty close to me. I’ve been through a lot in the last five years. I lost my grandmother, I’ve moved – there’s been all kinds of stuff – and I’ve always had my players and my team to lean back on. I think that’s special.” 76ers GC’s NBA 2K League action can be seen on Twitch and YouTube on the NBA 2K League channels. Coming off competing in the first-ever 3v3 Championships, 76ers GC enters the 5v5 Playoffs, which run from August 24-27, as the No. 1 seed in the East.

76ers GC’s OneWildWalnut Named Starter For Inaugural NBA 2K League All-Star Game

# results[].description
The rosters for the 2021 NBA 2K League All-Star Game consist of seven players from each of the Eastern and Western conference, and were determined by a vote of fans, current NBA 2K League players, head coaches and general managers, and a media panel. The game will be held on Saturday, Sept. 25 at 7 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on the NBA 2K League’s Twitch and YouTube channels.

https://twitter.com/76ersGC/status/1434304108408803330

The 2021 NBA 2K League All-Star Game will be a 5-on-5, best-of-three series with players competing on PS5 consoles in NBA 2K22’s Pro-Am mode. The NBA 2K League will award a $25,000 prize pool with the winning and losing team receiving $18,000 and $7,000, respectively.

Fans accounted for 50 percent of the vote, players accounted for 25 percent of the vote, and a combination of head coaches, general managers and media accounted for the final 25 percent of the vote. Fan voting served as the tiebreaker for players in a position group with the same score.

After all votes are tallied, players were ranked in each conference by position (backcourt and frontcourt) within each of the three voting groups. Each player’s score was calculated by averaging their weighted rank from the fan votes, the player votes, and the head coach, general manager and media votes. The three backcourt and four frontcourt players with the best score in each conference were named 2021 NBA 2K League All-Stars.

Wizards District Gaming head coach Patrick “Pcross11” Crossan will coach the Eastern Conference team while Jazz Gaming head coach Jelani “Comp” Mitchell will lead the Western Conference team.

76ERS PRESIDENT OF BASKETBALL OPERATIONS DARYL MOREY AND DELAWARE BLUE COATS GENERAL MANAGER MATT LILLY EACH ANNOUNCE A 76ERS GC FIRST-ROUND PICK AS SPECIAL GUESTS

TEAM ADDS ANDRE “DRE” MARSHALL (NO. 4 OVERALL), ROBERT “CALIRAQ” RUIZ (NO. 12), ELIJAH "UNDERRATEDGOAT" SPEARS (NO. 39) AND BRANDON "TOXSIK" RAUDENBUSH (NO. 42)

PHILADELPHIA — MARCH 14, 2021 — 76ers Gaming Club (GC), the NBA 2K League team of the Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment (HBSE) portfolio, selected four players in Saturday's fourth annual NBA 2K League Draft. This year's draft was held virtually and livestreamed on the NBA 2K League's Twitch and YouTube channels. 76ers GC opened the draft with a blockbuster trade in which the team acquired the No. 4 overall pick. They drafted Andre "Dre" Marshall at No. 4, before adding Robert "Caliraq" Ruiz with the No. 12 pick and later selecting Elijah "UnderRatedGoat" Spears (No. 39) and Brandon "ToXsiK" Raudenbush (No. 42). 76ers President of Basketball Operations Daryl Morey served as the special guest announcing Dre's selection, while Delaware Blue Coats General Manager Matt Lilly later announced Caliraq's selection as a lottery pick.

A Baltimore native, Dre is an elite point guard prospect who averaged 29.6 points and 9.3 assists at the 2021 NBA 2K League Combine. Caliraq is a San Jose native who averaged 10.6 points, 2.4 assists and 1.4 steals at the combine.

“I have watched Dre progress so much over the past year," 76ers GC Head Coach Jeff Terrell said. "He plays with passion and we viewed him as the most skilled all-around guard in this draft. His determination to become the best guard in the world is something that really stood out to me.”

“Caliraq is the best sharp in this draft pool and I’ve said that for months," Terrell said. "His off-ball movement is elite and if he gets open for a shot, you know he will knock it down. He is a natural fit with our roster."

UnderRatedGoat was the No. 39 selection, while ToXsiK, who is a multi-year veteran of the 2K League, was picked at No. 42. In 37 games with Magic Gaming last season, ToXsiK averaged 6.2 points and nearly two steals per contest.

"Both are players capable of making a big impact on both ends of the floor who we feel fortunate were available to us," Terrell explained. "[UnderRatedGoat] is an incredibly impactful defender with unlimited potential. We can't wait to watch him grow as a player. ToXsiK is a three-year veteran in the league who brings positional versatility and added leadership. We are extremely happy to have them join our team."

Under the 2019 NBA 2K League Coach of the Year's guidance, 76ers GC has amassed the most victories in the league’s three-year history and is a two-time winner of the TIPOFF Tournament powered by AT&T.

Season 4 of the NBA 2K League tips off this spring.

This partnership continues to reinforce Philadelphia’s prominent position in the esports ecosystem.” The partnership will feature an exclusive, six-part digital content series, profiling the unique backgrounds of 76ers GC players. The episodes will explore the multi-faceted lives of GC players and highlight the many interests and talents that make them who they are – a perspective that Saint Joseph University celebrates in each of its students. The first episode will feature 76ers GC Shooting Guard Alexander “Steez” Bernstein and is scheduled to debut later this month on 76ers GC and Saint Joseph’s social media accounts. Additionally, the partnership includes multiple collaborative events focusing on both esports gameplay and careers in esports, including virtual networking opportunities, coaching clinics, guest speakers and more. “We are constantly evaluating how we can keep this generation of students engaged, and it is clear that esports is one of the areas of opportunity students are interested in,” says Saint Joseph’s Director of Athletics Jill Bodensteiner. “With our already existing strong ties to the 76ers organization, our new esports programming, and with Philadelphia becoming the East Coast epicenter for gaming, it makes sense for Saint Joseph’s to partner with GC. We feel this partnership builds on our commitment to esports and will provide our students unique opportunities to learn more about the growing industry academically and professionally.” Saint Joseph’s University recently announced the launch of a multifaceted approach to esports, an industry that is growing by every measure – fans, revenue and job growth – in a trend accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The University invested in a technology-focused esports lab, developed academic coursework to launch recession-resistant careers in the marketing and business of esports, and elevated the student gaming club to a club sport, providing access to support from Campus Recreation and the Department of Athletics.

By: Matt Murphy

For gamers with their sights set on one of the highly-coveted spots in the NBA 2K League, the time to grind has arrived.

Welcome to the #2KLGrind…76ers Gaming Club (GC) edition.

From October through early December, as part of the league’s NBA 2KL Draft Prospect Series, NBA 2K League teams will host more than 35 NBA 2K21 Pro-Am tournaments on Sony PlayStation 4 or Microsoft Xbox One – the start of the league’s new tryout process for Season 4.

It’s all about the tournaments.

The 76ers GC Draft Eligible Tournament Benefiting Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) will take place from Saturday, Nov. 14 – Saturday, Nov. 28 and will continue to fuel promising research and innovative care that will help children in the Philadelphia area and around the world.

All with the opportunity to advance to the next stage toward NBA 2K League Draft eligibility.

Interested players can register HERE.

The tournament will feature five players per team and each round will be 48 hours in duration. All proceeds support CHOP, where each player can direct their $10 entry fee to any area of the hospital.

“I am thrilled about the new NBA 2KL Draft Prospect series, specifically our draft-eligible tournament and continuing to support the innovative work of Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia,” said 76ers GC Head Coach Jeff Terrell. “It’s a unique way to give the players in such a talented draft class the chance to control their own destiny for Season 4. Our 76ers GC tournament is a great opportunity for the NBA 2K community to compete for draft eligibility while also supporting a great cause.”

The 2019 NBA 2K League Coach of the Year, Terrell leads a 76ers GC squad that has made its mark on the league through a culture of hard work – and winning. The winningest team in NBA 2K League history boasts a league-best 59 wins with a .621 winning percentage through three seasons.

76ers GC has even bigger goals for Season 4, and the draft is among the first steps in the process.

More from the NBA 2KL Draft Prospect Series Hub page: In January, following the release of Sony and Microsoft’s next-generation consoles, the NBA 2K League Draft Prospect Series will continue with up to eight NBA 2K League teams hosting NBA 2K21 Pro-Am tournaments on Sony PlayStation 5 or Microsoft Xbox Series X. All players on the winning team from each team-hosted tournament—on both current generation consoles and next-generation consoles will be made eligible for the 2021 NBA 2K League Draft.

76ERS GAMING CLUB RETAINS RADIANT, STEEZ AND BREADWINNERLA

# results[].description
WINNINGEST TEAM IN NBA 2K LEAGUE HISTORY HOLDS ON TO TALENTED HOMEGROWN TRIO FROM 2020 ROSTER
PHILADELPHIA – SEPT. 24, 2020 – 76ers Gaming Club (GC), the NBA 2K League team of the Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment (HBSE) portfolio, announced today that the team will retain Ethan “Radiant” White, Alexander “Steez” Bernstein and Christopher “BreadwinnerLA” Lafanette from its 2020 roster. All NBA 2K League teams are permitted to retain three players during the current retainment period from Monday, Sept. 21 through Monday, Sept. 28. Radiant and Steez were among the original 76ers GC draft selections in 2018, while BreadwinnerLA was added in the 2019 draft. “Out of all of our accomplishments, I am most proud of 76ers GC’s culture,” said 76ers GC Head Coach and 2019 NBA 2K League Coach of the Year Jeff Terrell. “The excellence these players have shown – off and on the court – as athletes, ambassadors of our sport, and teammates to each other, is truly impressive. This trio has endeared themselves to our fanbase and organization with their passion, determination and spirit; I’m incredibly confident in their ability to embrace and mentor their future teammates.” In 42 games played this season, Radiant averaged a team-leading 30.7 points per game and 7.0 assists per game. A former 2019 MVP finalist and Second Team All-NBA 2K League selection, Radiant’s 1,291 total points were the second-most in the 2K League this season. His 295 assists cracked the Top-10 as the ninth-best total in the league. “To me, Radiant is the best player in the world,” said Terrell. “Bringing back our point guard of the past three seasons was pivotal to what we want to do moving forward. His biggest strengths are obviously his scoring and unbelievable playmaking skills. His leadership and strong play helped drive our run this past season. I am proud of his development not only on the court, but as a teammate.” Steez also saw action in all 42 games of Season 3, posting averages of 10.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.4 steals and 0.9 blocks per game. He ranked second on the team and eighth in the 2K League with 102 steals. “Steez has been a leader on this team since he stepped foot in Philadelphia,” said Terrell. “He’s a great team captain with a tremendous gift of being able to connect with his teammates and hold them accountable. On the court, his talent and versatility continues to stand out.” BreadwinnerLA averaged 8.3 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 2.5 steals and 2.1 blocks per contest over the team’s 42 contests. He led the team in total rebounds (313), steals (105) and blocks (88), finishing Season 3 inside the Top-10 of the 2K League in each of the final two categories. “I think BreadwinnerLA is one of the best defenders in the NBA 2K League,” said Terrell. “He is able to completely control the outcome of games with his impact on that end of the court. He has been an anchor and a great player for us.” 76ers GC will forfeit a 2021 fourth-round draft pick in exchange for retaining three players. All 23 teams will have the option to retain additional players (for a total of four) during a later retainment period at the cost of additional 2021 draft picks.

76ers GC Roundup | 2K Showdown for a Great Cause

# results[].description
By: Matt Murphy

Tournaments on the virtual basketball court are nothing new for 76ers Gaming Club (GC).

Hosting their very own tournament for a great cause, however, is a first.

The inaugural 76ers GC x CHOP 2K Showdown powered by Nerd Street Gamers will benefit Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and will fuel promising research and innovative care that will help children in the Philadelphia area and around the world.

“With deep roots in Philadelphia and influence across the country, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia is one of the nation’s top children’s hospitals and we are thrilled to raise funds to support their work,” said Kathryn Alario, Vice President, Marketing, Philadelphia 76ers.

The NBA 2K 3-on-3 tournament is open to everyone and will take place Oct. 3-4. All proceeds go directly to CHOP, where each player can direct their $10 entry fee to any area of the hospital. The grand prize for the winning team is $1,500.

Interested players still have time to register (through Friday, Oct. 2) HERE.

“We appreciate the gaming community coming together virtually to support critical research and patient care at our hospital,” said Monica Taylor Lotty, Executive Vice President and Chief Development Officer at CHOP.

Last fall, the support from the 76ers organization took on a different form.

Seven-year-old Freddy Curley loves basketball. More specifically, he loves the 76ers.

“Freddy started his love for the Sixers at age 5,” said Freddy’s mother, Beth. “He watched a few games at home with his dad, noticed Ben Simmons and that was it. He watches every game, knows facts from games past, can tell you the schedule and who is playing and roots and cheers for them all the time. His entire room is full of 76ers merch. He's been to quite a few games and refuses to ever step foot in Boston because of the rivalry.”

In October, Freddy was not feeling well. After receiving some blood work, he was immediately taken to CHOP.

“Freddy was diagnosed on October 14, 2019,” Beth said. “It was the worst day of our lives.”

Freddy was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

“As terrifying as everything was, we were somewhat relieved to hear what great prognosis and cure rate this type of cancer has thanks to research and new medicines available just in the past 20 years alone,” Beth said.

On Freddy and his family’s sixth full day in the hospital, the power of sports – and the power of social media – came into play.

“After the first week in the hospital, we couldn't put off telling Freddy that he had cancer any longer,” Beth said. “A CHOP child life specialist named Lisa sat with us, explained everything to Freddy, and was the one to say the word cancer. It was a moment that no parent ever wants to live through, but Freddy took it with amazing strength and courage.

“I was so afraid of giving him the news that, the day before, I was scrolling through Instagram, saw [Philadelphia 76ers player] Matisse Thybulle and thought ‘Wouldn't it be great if I can get something amazing to happen to balance out the terrible news he was about to get?’ And would you believe that when we woke up that Monday morning, Matisse not only wrote back, but also drove over to see him that very day? Literally only a few hours after Freddy found out that he had cancer, he was as happy as could be because a 76er came to see him!”

Thybulle’s mother, Elizabeth, had leukemia and passed away when he was a senior in high school. A 22-year-old rookie back in October who would appear in his first NBA regular-season game later that week, Thybulle spent time with Freddy and his family at the hospital.

Prior to the visit, Beth responded to Thybulle’s Instagram message with a note that read: “Wow. I’m speechless. Today is the day we tell him what he has and my goal was to fill it with something more memorable than the news. I hope you know that’s what you’re doing. Making this the day he met you. Words can’t express our gratitude.”

“[Thybulle’s visit] set the tone for the journey,” Beth said. “I'm not kidding. We realized that we can make lots and lots of amazing moments to balance out the bad and that's really just what we have done.”

Luckily for the general public, the 76ers GC x CHOP 2K Showdown doesn’t involve facing Freddy in a basketball game on his own hoop like Thybulle did. Freddy won, 27-2 (“Freddy has a magnetic personality,” Beth explained. “He ALWAYS hangs his 76ers over-the-door hoop in his hospital rooms and has had one-on-one games with more staff than we can count.”).

This time around, the support for Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and its patients will occur on the virtual basketball court – and everyone can help make a difference.

“Freddy is now in the stage of treatment called Maintenance. It will last about a year and a half and is less intense than the first 10 months of treatment. His hair is coming back and he is starting to feel like his old self again. Maybe even better. Freddy is truly a warrior and our hero, for sure.” – Beth Curley
