Gus Macker 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament

The Gus Macker 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament is a nationwide event for players of a variety of age and skill levels in the United States.

Although every tournament is different, a typical Gus Macker event involves basketball courts set up in parking lots or closed-off public streets.

Tournaments are mid-level to major sports media events and are held virtually every weekend from spring through summer.

Scott McNeal (alias Gus Macker) and brother Mitch gathered 18 friends who played competitively for a tournament purse of $18.

The tournament currently holds both indoor and outdoor competitions annually in more than 75 cities, with over 200,000 players and 1.7 million spectators in attendance.
