Nominated by a panel of respected scouts and basketball writers, each of the players selected, along with their respective coaches, will be honored in a live presentation at halftime during the 2K Sports Classic Benefiting Coaches vs. Cancer championship game at Madison Square Garden on November 21, it was reported.
According to the company, Lance Stephenson, a 6' 5" shooting guard from Brooklyn's Lincoln High School, headlines the pre-season 2K Sports New York State High School All-Star Team after leading his team to its third-straight Public School Athletic League (P.S.A.L.) championship. Earning the nickname "Born Ready" for his stellar play at the famed Rucker Park, Stephenson has become one of the most talked about high school basketball recruits since LeBron James, current NBA superstar of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Stephenson also has an online documentary that closely follows his basketball life on and off the court available at www.bornready.tv.
