I am heading into my fourth year as an accredited member of the media covering the Philadelphia 76ers.

In the past, I covered the team through 97.3 FM ESPN (2014-15), and Philadelphia magazine (2015-16 and 2016-17). I now cover the team as a credentialed, independent journalist here at DerekBodner.com. My ability to remain independent is supported by a subscription service. Find out what you get by subscribing, and why independent, subscription-based journalism is important, here.

I host a weekly 76ers podcast called The Sixers Beat. You can subscribe to that over at sixersbeat.com. I’m also a college basketball scout for DraftExpress.com and an NBA contributor for The Ringer.

In the past I have also served as an on-air reporter at 97.3 FM ESPN, an editor at philly.sbnation.com and LibertyBallers.com, as a credentialed reporter for sbnation.com, covering events such as the NBA combine, NBA draft, and NBA lottery.  I have also written as an analyst for the now defunct NBAPlaybook.com, a part of the ESPN TrueHoop network, and my work has appeared on Philly.com.
