Ekene Ibekwe - The Basketball Tournament
Was just channel surfing and came across a single-elimination, winner-takes-all basketball tournament in the USA being broadcast on ESPN.
They did a pre-game interview with Ibekwe, who was playing on one of the teams ("LAUNFD") that had progressed deep into the tournament.

The winning team wins $1 million.
I note that Ibekwe actually sustained some sort of injury in a prior match, so didn't even play in the game that was being broadcast.
