I can only remember a couple of stars from the tournament - Magic Johnson, right after his first retirement from the NBA, and Jaleel "Urkel" White, who was actually a pretty decent baller. I think Flex, the comedian, might have played in the league, too.
On Sunday nights as a kid, I pretty much always fell asleep with this tournament on my black-and-white TV (no remote). It came on after "Northern Exposure" reruns and before whatever it was that Byron Allen was doing for an hour.
For some reason, I thought of this the other night and it's killing me because I can't remember any other details. Does anyone out there know what I'm talking about?
UPDATE: Ever the hoops fan, Urkel apparently contributed to an NBA.com blog. Not sure if that's an updated link.
UPDATE 2: Speaking of mysteries, how has Byron Allen managed to keep his little slice of TV time for this many years? Byron Allen is like the Julio Franco of entertainment, I tell ya. A modern marvel.
