Power Elite: How Overtime Went From Highlight Culture to Basketball Academy

With a league turning out five-star prospects, there's no denying that OTE has fundamentally altered the hoops landscape.

Overtime, initially known for its viral highlight videos, has evolved into a significant player in basketball development through its Overtime Elite (OTE) program.

Overtime's pivot to this model reflects a broader trend in sports where young athletes seek professional pathways earlier in their careers, bypassing traditional college routes.
