Huntington Station, NY – The annual We All We Got Suffolk vs Nassau All-Star Game took center stage at Next Level Sports in Huntington Station, showcasing the future of Long Island youth basketball. We All We Got founder Jahneil Watson has been serving the Long Island market for over a decade. This year’s event marked a significant new partnership with Long Island-based EBE Sports, led by seasoned coach and former Division I athlete, Coach Tyrone Tillman, known to many as Coach Ty.
Coach Ty, an accomplished All-Star player from Delaware State University, has established himself as a leader in youth sports, guiding the LUHI youth team to championship success. His expertise and dedication were instrumental in shaping the competitive energy of this year’s event.
Additionally, Tillman is a licensed Sports Power Infrastructure coach, a role that requires an intensive approval process and training. Starting in the summer of 2025, he will be operating Sports + Industry Combine qualifiers, ensuring that youth and adults have direct pathways for career and business opportunities within and beyond sports.
The Rise of Next Gen
Next Gen was first established in January 2025 by Tenicka Chaney, Senior Director of Athletes Make the Best, a commerce and media company. Since then, the concept has evolved into a collaborative initiative between Coach Ty and Tenicka. Their combined leadership has propelled the start of this exciting program as an All-Star Game focused on athletes in grades 4–7, going beyond local competition to become a premier showcase for emerging talent.
