Star-studded roster highlights milestone Iverson showcase

The 10th annual Allen Iverson All-American Game lit up the Hampton Coliseum, giving fans a chance to see some of the nation’s top college-bound talent on one stage. One of the premier showcases in high school basketball, the event continues to provide elite athletes with national exposure before they take the next step at the collegiate level. Last year’s roster featured standouts like Darius Acuff Jr. and Khiyan Anthony.

The 10th annual Allen Iverson All-American Game brought the house down at the Hampton Coliseum, delivering an unforgettable showcase of the nation's brightest high school basketball stars. This marquee event has become a must-see for fans and scouts alike, offering elite athletes a national stage before they make the leap to college basketball.

This year's star-studded roster was headlined by the Ratliff brothers—Adonis and Darius—both towering at 7 feet and carrying on the legacy of their father, former NBA standout Theo Ratliff, who famously played alongside Iverson on the Philadelphia 76ers. The family connections didn't stop there: Tajh Ariza, son of NBA champion Trevor Ariza and committed to the University of Oregon, also took the court, alongside Duke-bound Deron Rippey Jr. and Florida State commit Marcis Ponder, a local Springfield product.

The game wasn't just about the future stars—it was a celebration of the past as well. Before tipoff, the City of Hampton honored Iverson for his lasting impact, officially proclaiming May 2 as Allen Iverson Day. Iverson, joined by Bobby Scott, reflected on the milestone moment, underscoring how this event continues to shine a spotlight on the next generation of basketball talent.

As the showcase enters its second decade, it remains a cornerstone of high school basketball, blending elite competition with the legacy of one of the game's most iconic figures.
