PHILADELPHIA — Tyshawn Taylor glanced at the bench, patting his chest as if to say “I got this.” He stepped to the foul line and hit four shots after a technical foul before adding a one-handed fast-break dunk as Team FOE pulled away.
Team FOE, or Family Over Everything, is one of 16 left in The Basketball Tournament, a winner-take-all event with a $2 million purse that started with 64 teams composed of former NBA players, current D-leaguers and a host of others from different reaches of the world. Taylor, a former point guard for powerhouse St. Anthony in Jersey City, Kansas and the Nets, is the star of his team that will next play Thursday.
