    The Basketball Tournament

    Did anyone see this? I was reading an article online and they mentioned it and this looks cool as hell. It's 32 teams single elimination in Philadelphia the first weekend in June with the championship TBD on June 28th. The 24 teams who had the most fan support got in the tournament automatically and 8 others were chosen by the founders. 500000 first prize to the champions.

    Too late for this year guys, teams range from former NBA players to guys off the street in Virginia, we should have an SBR team next year, all we need to get enough fans for a team.

    there has to be some former d-1 players here, at least some d-2 players, how many of them are in actual basketball shape is a better question

    Surprised to see this on SBR. Already had my vote in for team TYFTAL with my boy Hakim Warrick. They didn't get much support but made it....Marshall Henderson and Reggie Williams are on the team. Solid team, hope they take it down.

    We have enough members on this site to get enough votes for a team I would think, plus any other votes members could scare up from non members. The problem would more be coordinating an actual team of 10 players.

    winning the tournament is a pipe dream, winning a game may be possible though, if you are top 4 in votes you get to pick your first opponent. playing in it is very possible, a bunch of guys from pitt that are from the philly got a team together. most of these teams who got in only had a few hundred fans.
