This week ESPN Wide World of Sports hosted the Jr NBA World Championship. The top 13 and 14-year old boys and girls from around the world came together to compete in the 6-day inaugural tournament.
The first of it’s kind global youth basketball championship took place August 7 – August 12. 317 youth basketball players from 35 countries came together to compete and play some “hoops”.
Dwayne Wade, Jr NBA World Championship Global Ambassador and three-time NBA Champion, joined the top youth along with 2018 NBA All-Star Andre Drummond, eight-time NBA All-Star Vince Carter, Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez, 2018 Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame inductee Grant Hill and WNBA Legends Tamika Catchings, Swin Cash and Jennifer Azzi.
