Hello Basketball World.
It's your boy Jordan, reporting to you from the Stratosphere Hotel and
Casino located in Las Vegas, Nevada.
It has been a busy, busy week. I arrived in Las Vegas, Nevada on July 21st
with my 15U team Sports University/Team Izod to begin playing in the Main
Event. (July 22-26) We went 2-1 in our bracket, with our only loss being
to Athlete's First by the score of 60-58. They tipped the ball in with 2
seconds left. With time running out, my teammate Ike shot the ball from
half court and made it, but the refs said that it was a second too late.
They went on to the platinum bracket and we went to the gold bracket. They
won the overall Main Event championship and we won the gold bracket
championship. We went 6-1 for the tournament. The team trophy and the
individual medals were nice. We were this close to winning the whole
thing. It was a great experience. I want to thank Coach Burno and Coach
Bright for getting us prepared for each game. I also want to thank Coach
Coleman, Coach Jones and our co-sponsor Darryl Dawkins. My teammates Josh,
Jerome, Matt R, Matt J, Ike, Gillepso, Marvin, Rashad, Jimmy, AJ, and
Tyquan (Tata) all had a great time. We are looking forward to coming back
next year...and winning the whole thing!
