There’s no disputing the fact that Atlanta has and continues to produce some of the top young basketball players in the world. That talent continues to be on display in various different capacities, and one of those avenues is the Overtime Elite, a transformative new sports league offering the world’s most talented players a better pathway to becoming professional athletes.

Billionaire Boys Club Collaborates With Overtime League in Atlanta
ONE37pm checked out the games in Atlanta this past weekend
OTE features some of the top juniors, seniors, and post-graduate athletes globally competing within the league, as well as domestic and international teams. 27 ATL-based players make up the league, each receiving a minimum $100,000 annual salary, plus bonuses and equity in Overtime. Players also receive revenue from their name, image, and likeness (NIL), making this a groundbreaking way to gain experience before officially becoming pros.
Naturally the players have to look good on the court too, and this is where Billionaire Boys Club comes into play. This past week, BBC announced their collaboration with Overtime, as they continue their mission to uplift and support the next generation of athletes. This first drop is meant to celebrate not only the athletes, but the culture surrounding the game as players wore custom Overtime Elite uniforms along with matching arm sleeves.
As a celebration of this first launch, BBC hosted the first OTE home games on Friday, February 4th + 5th in Atlanta, where there was also a special performance from rapper BLXST. ONE37pm attended the game on Friday, where three different games took place. Here’s our review.
