History.
The team's name is a reference to their players being "a collection of stars who play hoops at basketball outposts around the world".
2015: First championship.
Overseas Elite was accepted as a third-seed in TBT 2015 after amassing 139 registered fans. It was placed in the South region, which had Josh Selby and TeamBDB as the top seeds. Overseas Elite defeated the Underdogs, 89–83, in both teams' debuts. Errick McCollum's double-double, 18 points and 11 rebounds, helped Overseas Elite get past Team Charlotte Elite in the second round, 77–74. McCollum posted 32 points in his team's next contest, against Damien Wilkins and Trained to Go, pushing Overseas Elite to the Super 17 round of the tournament. D. J. Kennedy was instrumental in Overseas Elite's first Super 17 victory, which was vs. Sean Bell All Stars. The team became the first to qualify for the year's semifinals after it beat Dirty South, led by Brandon Robinson. It used only six players throughout the game, and it was the fifth Super 17 game to be decided by fewer than 10 points. On August 1, Overseas Elite defeated Team City of Gods to reach the championship game against Team 23. On August 2, Overseas Elite was crowned champions after winning, 67–65, with Kennedy being named MVP.
