This year’s event will be televised nationally live on ESPN2. The Jordan Brand Classic will also continue to include a regional game, showcasing the top prep players from the New York City metropolitan area in a City vs. Suburbs showdown. New to the event this year will be an international game featuring 16 of the top 17-and-under players from Europe, Asia and Africa . A portion of the proceeds will once again benefit the New York City-based charity, The Children’s Aid Society. In addition to Evans, Jennings and Samuels, the Jordan Brand All-American Team also includes Al-Farouq Aminu (Norcross, GA/Wake Forest), William Buford (Toledo, OH/Ohio State), Ed Davis (Richmond, VA/UNC), Demar DeRozan (Compton, CA/Southern Cal), Michael Dunigan (Chicago, IL/Oregon), Devin Ebanks (Oakdale, CT/Indiana), Drew Gordon (San Jose, CA/UCLA), JaMychal Green (Montgomery, AL/Alabama), Jrue Holiday (N.

Fisher posted 12 points and a game-record 10 assists as he led his team to a 127-119 victory. Greene finished with 20 points in only 17 minutes of action. “Over the six-year history of the Jordan Brand Classic we have accumulated a prominent list of alumni,” said Garry Cook, President of Jordan Brand. “This year’s game is no different as the elite players in the country will once again step foot in the World’s Most Famous Arena and benefit a great cause in the Children’s Aid Society.” Sponsored by Jordan Brand, the event is also annually attended by some of sport and entertainment’s biggest stars, who have included Michael Jordan, Spike Lee, LL Cool J, Warren Sapp, Terrell Owens, Floyd Mayweather, Kanye West, Fat Joe, Ludacris, Ahmad Rashad and Vince Carter.
