Oso planning to go pro
Players on the roster so far include: Buycks, Jamil Wilson, Derrick Wilson, Mo Acker, Fischer with non Marquette guys Jarvis Williams and Elgin Cook returning. I know Luke wanted to play last year but he has surgery and was unable to join. Will be interesting to see if anyone else is added. TBT likes to hide big player announcements. Diener is the one that I’m waiting on but he could always decide it was a crazy spring with Italy and decide to stay home.
DJO must've come to his senses after last year.
I thought Vander and Duane Wilson were supposed to play this year? What’s Henry doing? Last I knew he was on the knicks who clearly aren’t going to make whatever playoffs the NBA is having
Can't imagine Henry would be interested in being a part of an MU affiliated team. You're right about Duane and Vander IIRC
I don't think Henry has any ill will regarding MU teams. He has tweeted support for MU BB team.
Really? Ok guess I was wrong my bad
I can’t imagine a guy who just retired after making $200M in salary alone (and who knows how much more in endorsements) and has made appearances on a number of TV shows as an analyst, including the NBA on TNT, would have any interest in quarantining himself for weeks to play for a chance at like $100K.
Plenty of guys who have made a lot more money than Henry come back for the competition. And even though TBT is nothing like the NBA, the competition is still pretty solid.
Pretty sure he wasn't talking about Henry
If he does it, it will be for love of the game. I would guess he wouldn't even take a salary, or would donate all of the winnings. I mean, Wade could guarantee the entire team the $2M win or lose, so it's not like money would be the motivator.
Yeah I just don’t see any appeal in quarantining myself for multiple weeks, being away from my family, etc. for really nothing more than some pickup basketball.
Everyone gets moved by different things.
Novak, diener and Wade reunite?
What about Davante? I think he'd be a great 6th man in this kind of format. Plus, as last year showed, it's good to have high percentage free throw shooters in the game at the end.
