PORTLAND, Ore. — It’s been more than five years since Mark Hollis revealed his plan for a gauntlet 16-team tournament to honor Nike founder, Phil Knight.
On Thursday, the Michigan State athletic director’s idea finally became reality.
“To see Phil Knight have tears in his eyes and to have somebody say they’ve been given a gift that you can’t buy on Amazon is pretty cool,” Hollis said during the first day of games for the PK80 tournament.
