Former Wildcat guards Gabe York, Terrell Brown help TBT team win $2 million prize

York, considered the leader of the team formerly known as Eberlein Drive, had 11 points, seven rebounds, four assists and four steals while playing a team-high 38 minutes and hitting 3 of 10 3-pointers. Brown had nine points and three assists in 14 minutes off the bench, while hitting the game winner during the "Elam Ending."

For York, the win appeared especially meaningful after Eberlein Drive lost 82-67 to the (Wichita State alumni) Aftershocks in last year's TBT championship game, when York was just 1 for 11 from 3-point range. This year's championship game was held in Lexington, Ky., giving La Familia a homecourt edge.

"It was unbelievable. Blood sweat and tears," York said after the game on a video TBT posted. "Our guys came together with a common goal. Everybody sacrificed. Everybody came together to try to win this thing and we got it done this year.

"Obviously, we felt we left something on the table last year. We didn't play our best. ... It was our time. It was meant for us this year."

Since finishing a four-year career with Arizona that began in 2012-13, York has played all over the world, as well as in the G League and for a total of five games with the Indiana Pacers between the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons. York averaged 13.8 points while shooting 35.7% from 3-point range for the Zhejiang Golden Bulls in China last season.

Brown spent the COVID-altered 2020-21 season as a key reserve for the Wildcats before transferring to Washington and leading the Huskies in scoring in 2021-22 by scoring an average of 21.7 points a game. He played for the G League's Greensboro Swarm last season, averaging 11.2 points and 39.9% 3-point shooting.
