The Basketball Tournament

The Basketball Tournament (TBT) is an annual, competitive, single-elimination basketball event featuring professional, college, and amateur players. Teams primarily consist of former college and professional players, often representing their alma maters or regional regions. The tournament spans multiple days and culminates in a championship game, with the winning team earning a substantial cash prize—often $1 million or more. TBT emphasizes high-level gameplay, community engagement, and a festive atmosphere, making it a popular off-season event that blends athletic excellence with entertainment.
