OUR STORY
Gus Macker Basketball is more than just a game; it's a celebration of basketball, community, and the spirit of competition.
Founded in 1974 by Scott McNeal, the Macker tournament began as a small, backyard gathering of friends in Lowell, Michigan. Over the years, it has grown into a nationwide phenomenon, bringing people of all ages and backgrounds together through the love of basketball.
