When Tyson was squaring off against lifelong boxers like Frank Bruno, Donovan Ruddock and Evander Holyfield, he may have never imagined one day squaring off against someone who became famous as an entertainer.

College basketball is back, and though there haven’t been many marquee matchups just yet, we’ve gotten a first glimpse at teams on the court.
