The event, which showcases 28 young, standout players, features a mini-tournament with four teams and three games. The champion of the event will earn a spot to play in the 2025 NBA All-Star Game (Feb. 16, 8 p.m. ET on TNT).
Hardaway, Mullin and Richmond teamed up to comprise the “Run TMC”-era teams in Golden State from 1988-91 that were known for their high-scoring ways and flashy style. Each is in the Hall of Fame, with Hardaway being the most recent player enshrined (2022).
Lin played for the Warriors in 2010-11 and crafted a nine-season NBA career despite going undrafted out of Harvard.
