Some of the NBA’s biggest stars have turned in key performances at the Nike Hoop Summit.

The World team holds eight alumni that have been selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the NBA Draft including Karl-Anthony Towns, Andrew Wiggins and Deandre Ayton. The USA boast an 19-7 series advantage over the World team.
On the women’s side, 2024 Nike Hoop Summit World team alumni Ajsa Sivka earned the distinction of being the first Hoop Summit player drafted in the top 10 of the WNBA draft when the Chicago Sky selected her with the 10th overall pick of the 2025 Draft. In 2023, Shaneice Swain was the first Hoop Summit player to be drafted into the WNBA as she was selected by the Los Angeles Sparks in the second round of that year’s WNBA Draft. The USA hold a 3-0 Hoop Summit advantage over the World.
