America Dunks On The World
After an amazing week in France embedded with the 2K Sports Preseason All-American Team, I’m back. Hanging with the stars of the Class of 2010, if you’re still unfamiliar with these kids by now, you’re sleeping on game. If you hadn’t been following my whole trip on High School Hoop, head over there now so you can be the one telling your buddies who’s the Next Big Thing. Oh yea, and you just might see the Dunk of the Year courtesy of Jason Morris…

For a dunk contest, for a 16-year-old, that’s impressive. You see how far out he is?

Canada won the tournament though without Tristan Thompson and Cory Joseph.
Future’s looking bright north of the border.

“America dunks on the world”?
America, who was probably favored going into this tourney, only won 2 games and Lost 4.
Poor performance and a very mis-leading headline to say the least. Does winning the dunk-off count for something Aron Phillips?
How about some real reporting, like about why this all-star team under-acheived?

TruthBurns says:
My bad.
U.S. won 2 and lost 3 games.
Still not what was expected going into this tourney.

Not even a clean dunk… looks like he caught his leg on the prop.
