For those unaware or uninterested, TBT (or: The Basketball Tournament) is an annual summer single-elimination and million-dollar-winner-take-all basketball tournament that took place over the past couple of weeks. 24 teams comprised of mainly college alums and overseas stars descended upon Columbus, Ohio to break in the idea of quarantined basketball in the United States. For the most part…it worked!
Phenomenal job by Jon Mugar, head of this entire shindig. He made the whole thing happen and was open and direct in planning for the tournament with unusual circumstances, preparing an overly-cautious bubble. Both are reasons sports took a step forward with TBT (even if Florida and the rest of the US can’t get their act together).
