Coming up on its tenth anniversary, the Jordan Brand Classic high school all star basketball game has grown to rival the iconic McDonald’s All American Game. After having been played at MCI (Verizon) Center in DC when MJ was with the Wizards and subsequently at Madison Square Garden, next April’s JBC will take place in Jordan’s current home digs, Time Warner Cable Arena. Previous Jordan Brand Classic standouts include Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, LeBron James, Amar’e Stoudemire and 2006 MVP Kevin Durant. Could 2011 be a showcase for a future elite talent? Seems like a pretty good shot, but whatever the case be sure to check back with Sneaker News for the likely Air Jordan PEs for next year’s Jordan Brand Classic.
