This year marks the 44th year of the MLK Basketball Tournament. Coach Robert Newman remembers walking into his Coaches’ Office as a senior basketball player 45 years ago to hear them talking about creating a Memphis Basketball Tournament so they could highlight their players. The following year coaches across the city collectively created the MLK Basketball Tournament. Coach Robert Newman is going on his 30th year running the tournament which begins on Saturday November 22nd and runs through the Saturday following Thanksgiving. There are approximately 90 middle and high school girls and boys basketball teams from around the area in this year’s tournament.
