TBT 2023 opens on the 20th.
TBT (The Basketball Tournament) 2023 will begin on the 20th (Korean time)메이저사이트. TBT, which started in 2014, is the nation’s highest level basketball tournament hosted by ESPN. Collegiate and professional players from all over the United States form teams and compete for a $1 million prize.
A total of 64 teams will participate this year from seven regions: Wichita, Syracuse, West Virginia, Xavier, Dayton, Louisville, and Lubbock. The competition is held as a single-elimination tournament, and the last surviving team wins a prize of 1 million dollars.
Every year, many former and current KBL foreign players participated in the TBT. While the roster of some teams has not yet been confirmed, Didric Lawson will participate in the tournament as a member of ‘Mass Street’ this year. Last season, Lawson recorded 18.7 points, 9.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists while playing 27 minutes and 25 seconds in 51 regular league games wearing a Goyang Carrot uniform. In the new season, he plans to play an active role as the first option foreign player for Wonju DB.
Lawson’s team, ‘Mass Street’, has Thomas Robinson and Mario Little, who have been on the KBL stage in the past. Robinson played as a substitute foreign player for Seoul Samsung in the 2021-2022 season, and Little worked for Anyang KGC, Seoul SK, and Changwon LG.
In addition, ‘AfterShocks’ includes Darall Willis (ex-Samsung) and ‘The Commonwealth’ includes Caddy Laren (ex-KT). Earl Clark (former Hyundai Mobis) and Chinanu Onuaku (former DB) will play as a team in ‘The Ville’.
TBT came this year without fail. It seems that the fun of watching the tournament will increase if you pay attention to the play of former and current KBL foreign players.
