The event will pit Team Loyalty, led by standouts Cole Anthony, Nico Mannion, Precious Achiuwa, and Jaden McDaniels against Team Honor, led by Anthony Edwards, Kahlil Whitney and C.J. Walker.
“Last year was so incredible and this year is going to be bigger and better in every way” said Iverson in a press release, who is a co-founder of the event along with noted branding specialist and entrepreneur Jai Manselle and basketball business veteran Bobby Bates, “It’s an honor for me. As excited as they are to be in this game, I’m more excited to have them.”
