The 2K Sports Preseason All-American Team Heads To France

Words. Aron Phillips

What do Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony and Tony Parker have in common? Other than all being NBA superstars, these three – along with almost 60 others – have played in the legendary World Basketball Tournament in Douai, France.

Now in its 23rd year, the World Basketball Tournament features the best under-19 talent in the world with the top national teams from Australia, Canada, France, Lithuania, Puerto Rico and the United States (represented by the 2K Sports Preseason All-American Team). With five days of competition, the tournament will prepare each squad for the 2009 FIBA U19 World Championship later this summer. MORE >

Don’t get him wrong, Jordan McRae is honored.

He knows that he’s fortunate and he’s appreciative, but when he first got the news that he’d been picked to play in the World Basketball Tournament in Douai, France from June 8-15 with the 2K Sports Preseason All-American Team, McRae, a 6-5 shooting guard, immediately saw it as an opportunity to win on a lot of different levels. “I’m going overseas to play with some of the best kids in the country,” says McRae. “I don’t think about this a lot, but I would like to be ranked higher on most rankings. I think that this could be an opportunity to do that.” MORE >
