"TBT is a 32-team, 5-on-5, winner-take-all-$500,000 tournament that will take place in Philly next month. Who’s eligible? Well, anyone. Literally. So long as you are older than 18 and willing to give up any collegiate eligibility that you may have remaining, you are eligibile.

And with that amount of money on the line, you can probably imagine some of the names coming out of the woodwork. Playground legends. Longtime NBA players. Former college stars that never latched on with an NBA team. Even entire college teams are showing up.

Marshall Henderson, everyone’s favorite hot head that just finished his collegiate career at Ole Miss, will be playing for Team TYGTAL along with, among others, Hakim Warrick and former Santa Clara star Kevin Foster. How Foster and Henderson will share the ball will be fascinating.

- Remember the Cornell team that made the Sweet 16? Want to see them play again? Then get to Philly, because the entire group will playing.

- Villanova will also be fielding an entire team, this one made up with mostly guys from their 2009 team."

Meh. For a tourney like this its going to be the best 3 point shooting team vs the one that has played together for years. All-star teams just won't work due to the defensive communication that's necessary.

W/ that said, this would have been a perfect format for Andre Hutson's NBA re-boot.
