New England Products Attend Nike Basketball Academy
The July evaluation period may have ended last Sunday but that doesn't mean that summer basketball came to an end.
In fact, for may of the top players in the country, they traveled directly from Las Vegas to Los Angeles where Nike transformed an old airplane hanger into the site of the Nike Basketball Academy -- the culmination of their grassroots basketball season.
Nike invited 50 of the top players from their EYBL circuit to attend the Academy - which was highlighted by instruction from current NBA and college players along with innovative training and workout session.
The likes of Lebron James, Anthony Davis, Chris Bosh, Aaron Gordon, Devin Booker, Rudy Gay, Julius Randle, Eric Bledsoe and Jordan Clarkson were all on hand to work with the players while New England was represented by Tremont Waters, Jermaine Samuels, Kimani Lawrence and Hamidou Diallo.
Here's a look at some of the promotional videos and pictures that were released by Nike, Position Sports and D1 Circuit
