Come mid-July, once the reality sets in that Summer League has ended, and most marquee free agents have found their new home, a heightened level of anxiety washes over faithful NBA fans. Fear not, The Basketball Tournament is here. There are other options if you’re a hoops fan searching for a fix (most notably the WNBA, which is halfway through their 2018 season), but since I’ve enjoyed watching this ultra-competitive tournament the past four years, I thought all of you might dig it too.
If you have not heard of TBT, it’s a $2 million dollar, winner-take-all tournament, that’s filled with ex-NBA players, international pros, and former NCAA players.
