Brett Wheeler is one of the most popular and richest Basketball Player who was born on November 21, 1971 in Australia.
Wheeler played his junior basketball with the Noarlunga Tigers in southern Adelaide, began his NBL career as a lanky 19 year old with the Adelaide 36ers in 1991 as backup to the team’s Boomers centre Mark Bradtke. He made his NBL debut for Adelaide, playing 7:46 and scoring 1 point in a 93–90 loss to the Perth Wildcats at the Perth Entertainment Centre on 29 June 1991. His first season saw the 36ers reach the Semi-Finals where they were defeated by Perth Wildcats who would go on to win their first NBL title that season. 1991 was also the 36ers final season at the 3,000 seat Apollo Stadium before moving into the 8,000 seat Clipsal Powerhouse in 1992. Wheeler became the first choice centre for the 36ers in 1993 when Bradtke moved to the Melbourne Tigers.
After moving to a bench role in 1994, Wheeler again became the 36ers starting centre in 1995 and remained there until the end of 1997. He actually became the starting centre almost by accident. In 1995 he was set to play centre and power forward off the bench with 6’11” Willie Simmons to be the starting centre. However, only a couple of games into the season Mike McKay took a charge and when falling back, fell on Simmons’ leg which forced him out for the season after needing a knee reconstruction. Wheeler then moved into the starting role and began to play some of the best basketball of his career to that point.
