2011 Nike Global Challenge

The Nike Global Challenge takes center court at Liberty High School, August 5-7, 2011.

This 8-team, 12-game tournament features the top high school and U19 basketball players from the best International Teams.

For players from the United States, the Nike Global Challenge is the final tournament in Nike's series of Skills Academies. In June, these players will be invited to participate in positional skills camps around the country hosted by several NBA superstars including Deron Williams (PG), Kevin Durant (Wings) and Amare Stoudamire (Big Men). They then traveled to Akron, Ohio, to participate in the LeBron James US Skills Academy. The top 30 players selected from this camp will seed three USA teams to represent the United States in the Nike Global Challenge.
