up rooting for,” he said in a
Philadelphia Inquirer interview.

“I had reached, in my mind, the
pinnacle of my profession.”
His retirement comes from a
desire, foremost, to spend more
time with his wife, Debbie, to
whom he’s been loyal longer
than he’s worked for the Sixers.

“I can never repay her for all
of the nights and weekends she
spent alone, raising our sons and
holding down her own, high-pres-
sure career. Simply, she is my best
friend, and we want to spend
more time together,” he wrote.

In a statement, 76ers
managing partners Josh Harris
and David Blitzer thanked
Zumoff for his time with the
team: “We’ll miss his iconic
voice and trademark sayings,
which have been staples during
76ers games for the better part
of two decades.”
Following his farewell,

learning to play the flute, skills
untouched since the eighth and
ninth grades, respectively. He
wants to “cook, travel and by all
means give back with my time
and strength to the charitable
causes that I hope will make for
a better world.”
His decision to retire — as
Inquirer columnist Mike Sielski
wrote — at the apex of his career,
was deliberate: “There’s a lot out
there for me to still do, and I want
to do it all while I’m still able.”
The Sixers haven’t named
Zumoff’s successor and are
planning to release the details
on an upcoming “Marc Zumoff
Night” at the Wells Fargo Center.

In the meantime, Zumoff
plans to enjoy the Sixers the
same way he did over a half
century ago: glued to the televi-
sion, watching his team play 82
times a year. l
