A Look Back at the 2008 Jordan Brand Classic
Jennings Breaks Assist
Record in Win
Before heading off in his ground-breaking season in
Italy, Brandon Jennings (Oak Hill Academy/Los Angeles, CA) earned co-Most Valuable Player honors
in his final high school game on basketball’s biggest stage, Madison Square Garden, as he finished with 10 points and 14 assists to lead the Blue Jerseys to the 124-114 victory over the White Jerseys at the 2008 Jordan Brand
Classic. Jennings was joined by co-MVP Tyreke Evans (American Christian/Aston, PA/Memphis) who had 23 points, seven rebounds and four assists.
Sponsored by Jordan Brand, a division of Nike, Inc., the event was once again attended by some of sport and entertainment’s biggest stars including Michael Jordan, Kevin Durant, Vince Carter, Rudy Gay, Mya and Jadakiss. Interscope rapper Wale headlined the musical performances while Arista Records artists Boyz II Men performed the national anthem.
Jennings’ 14 assists broke the event record previously held by
Corey Fisher while his teammates Scotty Hopson (University Heights/Tennessee) and Demar DeRozan (Compton/USC) contributed 21 and 17 points respectively.
