Before any of them dominated college, both the WNBA and the NBA were outstanding tasks in high school to prove that their games weren’t all hype. With the basketball landscape changing over the years, today’s stars are at zero (name, image and similarity), brand deals and have a lot of eyes watching their every move online and on the court.
For a 16-17-year-old Hooper, hoping to name it after himself, exposure is everything. No one knows that it’s better than ACES CEO Brian Kortovich, who just six years ago held an elite (no pun intended) All-American game in New York City, known as Aces Elite Classic. Over the years, AEC has evolved into a cultural platform. There, each player can shine on the biggest stage and learn about the business aspects of the game when working with major brands.
“At ACES, we position ourselves as one of the major storytelling platforms around sports, music and entertainment,” Kortovich said. “What we have seen since the beginning is how Aces resonates with iconic athletes, musicians and entertainers, and globally renowned brands. Aces connects our unique abilities to our unique abilities to the true culture of sports and entertainment. AEC continues. AEC continues to attract an increasing number of New York states in New York State, which is one of our part in New York State, which is one of our part in New York State, which is one of our part in New York State. It is the responsibility of tradition, basketball culture and the next generation of athletes.”
Activity, This year takes place at the Gauchos Gym in the Bronx on May 21there are over 35 all-Americans at McDonald’s and hundreds of Division-1 players, including all the names we mentioned earlier and many others.
Their more than 30 alumni also continued to participate in professional contestants and even played the cover of the Grand Slam. In Aces Elite Classic, they have been able to prove that the hype is not only real, but it is just beginning.
“It’s always special to be able to play in some of the history courts in New York City,” said Notre Dame star Hannah Hidalgo, who played twice in the high school career at AEC. “The field has produced some of the best basketball players in the world and is like Aces Elite Classic shows.
This year, we are proud to announce that SLAM will become the official media partner of AEC. The event will begin at 6 p.m. ET and will be streamed only on the NBA app.
