[edit] Franchise history

The 66ers are named for the famous US Highway 66, which ran through Tulsa and once played a pivotal role in its economy. The team has three affiliate clubs in the NBA. Tulsa has such partnerships with the New York Knicks, Milwaukee Bucks, and Dallas Mavericks. Prior to the 2005-2006 season, the team was the Asheville Altitude and played in the Asheville Civic Center in Asheville, North Carolina, where they won two NBDL championships. Upon moving, all of the team's hard assets were then sold to current Tulsa 66ers owner Southwest Basketball, LLC, which also owns the Albuquerque Thunderbirds. The Asheville Altitude were a founding team of the NBDL in 2001.
