Samuels Gets Nod to
Play at Jordan Brand Classic
 NEW
YORK — Last Thursday Jordan Brand, a division of Nike,
Inc. announced that our Jamaican bred Samardo Samuels
along with
Tyreke Evans and Brandon Jennings will
headline the nation's top 21 high school senior
basketball players at the 2008
Jordan Brand Classic,
presented by Foot Locker and Boost Mobile, at Madison
Square Garden on Saturday, April 19 at 9:00 p.m. EDT.
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.
Over the six-year history of the Jordan Brand Classic we
have accumulated a prominent list of alumni. 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.
Samardo will join recent Jordan Brand All-Americans
which include NBA stars Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony,
LeBron James, Amare Stoudemire, Dwight Howard and Kevin
Durant as well as current NCAA standouts Tyler
Hansbrough (North Carolina), Derrick Rose (Memphis),
Eric Gordon (Indiana), Jerryd Bayless (Arizona) and D.J.
White (Indiana).
