The 2008 Jordan Classic Roster has been announced!

The rosters for the 2008 Jordan Classic were announced yesterday! Who were the lucky hoopsters to be selected to play at this prestigious game with the blessings of Mr #23 himself? And when will this game be played?

The game will be played at MSG, on Saturday April 19, 2008, at 9pm eastern (6pm pacific) and will air live on ESPN2 and ESPN2-HD! In previous years, ESPN2 showed the game a few days later in tape-delayed and edited format. So this is a welcome move by ESPN2.

Some of the stars that will shine at the Jordan Classic: Tyreke Evans, Samardo Samuels, JRue Holiday, Ed Davis, Greg Monroe, Brandon Jennings (is he this year's OJ Mayo?), Drew Gordon, Delvon Roe, Al Faroud Aminu, JaMychal Green.

But that's not all, Malcolm Lee, Iman Shumpert, Willie Warren, Kemba Walker, Demar DeRozan, BJ Mullens, Scotty Hopson, William Buford, and Michael Dunigan will be participating.

And a third game will be added, a battle between some of the top international players in the age-group.

Live on TV!
Remember, the game will air live on ESPN2 and ESPN2-HD on Saturday, April 19, 2008, at 9pm eastern (6pm pacific) at the storied MSG in NYC! In past years, the game aired tape-delayed and edited on ESPN2, after it aired live on ESPNU or nowhere. This year it got the "ESPN2 upgrade", perhaps to coincide with the end (or freeze) of the RoundBall Classic.
