Self-Managed
 The Stickmen, led by Michael Rapaport, are loaded with NBA & overseas professional basketball talent looking to win The Basketball Tournament (TBT) and the $2 million dollar grand prize! As a sponsor for a team participating in The Basketball Tournament, you will receive a number of different things in return. First off, each team in TBT has a specified team page. On that team's page, we would link directly to your company’s website. That link would also be included in any articles written about the team (we've already got a story lined up on Detroit's #1 news website). On top of that, you would receive promotion from both TBT and our team on social media. Our team is very active and has an active following on Facebook, Instagram and especially Twitter. We would routinely publish content that put your company at the forefront. In addition to the strategies we already are actively engaged in, we are open to any kind of additional promotion that you would like to do. In the past, we have seen success in giveaways of our team's branded jerseys, socks, t-shirts, etc. When it comes to game day, our team could wear shooting shirts during pre-game shoot around, warmups, on the bench and in post-game press conferences. The first weekend of the tournament will be livestreamed on ESPN3.com, with the following weekends (starting with the sweet 16) being broadcasted live on ESPN. Your company brand would immediately get facetime in front of millions of eyes for far less than it would cost otherwise. Included with all that, members of our team would constantly be working to put out promotional videos of the team and our sponsor. We are open to working with you and making this sponsorship as profitable for you as it could be for us. Any suggestions you may have are more than welcomed.

Genisys Credit Union, headquartered in Auburn Hills, Michigan, has done something most brands never do with athlete sponsorship: it kept renewing. What started as a single partnership with Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta has become a multi-year, two-athlete program that Genisys has renewed and expanded every season since 2024, adding Lions wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa in 2025 and renewing him again in 2026.
