With Aussie Ben Simmons lighting up his rookie season, the Sixers have unofficially become Australia's adopted team, with head coach Brett Brown also spending several years coaching in Australia and coaching the Australian National team.
Four’N Twenty, who this season have been selling the iconic Australian meat pie at Sixers home games, will bring all things Australia to the celebration, with t-shirts, stubby-holders, an Australian flag giveaway, an Australian spider exhibit and of course the Four’N Twenty meat pie eating contest
ESPN Sports Business Reporter, Darren Rovell, who famously butchered his attempt at eating a meat pie with a knife back in November, will have a chance to redeem himself with a personal lesson to be given by Australian Football League legend, Dane Swan.
