HBCU stars train at NBPA camp in Atlanta

ATLANTA – THE The National Basketball Players Association, along with HBCU leagues, the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and the Southwestern Athletic Conference, hosted the Top 50 Basketball Camp July 25-27 in Atlanta, Georgia.

The Top 50 Basketball Camp brought together a group of the top men’s basketball players from the SIAC and SWAC leagues, Division II and Division I HBCUs. During the three-day camp, players showcased their talent against their neighboring conference peers through competitive games and scrimmages, participated in on-court skill development training and attended educational sessions designed to foster success beyond the basketball court.

“We are thrilled to continue our partnership with the NBPA as it returns to the campuses of Morehouse College and Clark Atlanta University for the sixth annual Top 50 Camp,” said SIAC Commissioner Dr. Anthony Holloman. “This event exemplifies the NBPA’s unwavering commitment to creating exceptional opportunities for our student-athletes to showcase their talents and enhance their preparation for life after basketball.”

The Top 50 Basketball Camp was designed to help HBCU student-athletes shape their futures, whether they aspire to play professional basketball or pursue other career paths. Additionally, the camp provides current and retired NBA players the experience of coaching, teaching and mentoring college athletes to help them embark on new career paths.

This year, former NBA players Jason Thompson, Solomon Jones and former WNBA player Mactabene Amachree participated in the Top 50 Basketball Camp as coaches and mentors.
