The Nike Hoop Summit is an international basketball all-star game sponsored by Nike, held once a year, which features the USA Basketball Men's Junior Select Team against a World Select Team of international players. The players demonstrate their skills and hope to attract attention from either NBA scouts or colleges. A number of current NBA players have participated in this event in the past.
In the 2010 edition of the event, Enes Kanter scored 34 points and surpassed the event's record of 33 points set by Dirk Nowitzki in 1998.[1] In 2012, Shabazz Muhammad scored 35 points to break Kanter's scoring record.[2] Bismack Biyombo recorded the first triple-double in Hoop Summit history in 2011 with 12 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 blocks.[3]
14 players, all members of the World Team have been selected to play in two Hoop Summits: Jovo Stanojević (1995 & 1996), Alexandre Bachminov (1996 & 1997), Matthew Nielsen (1997 & 1998), Antonis Fotsis, (1998 & 1999), Boštjan Nachbar (1999 & 2000), Olumide Oyedeji (1999 & 2000), Alexis Ajinça (2007 & 2008), Dario Šarić (2011 & 2012), Andrew Wiggins (2012 & 2013), Karl-Anthony Towns (2013 & 2014), Jamal Murray (2014 & 2015), Thon Maker (2015 & 2016), RJ Barrett (2017 & 2018), and Kofi Cockburn (2018 & 2019).
Although it previously rotated American cities, the event has been hosted in Portland, Oregon since 2008. There was no Hoop Summit in 2020 or 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, although rosters were named for the US both years. The Hoop Summit was also not played from 2001–2003.
In 2023, a women's game was introduced. The USA beat the World team in the inaugural game, 100–79.[4]
