The youngsters spent the weekend working under the orders of double NBA champ Ray Allen, and 1979 winner Jack Sikma, first at the Ciutat Esportiva and then at the Palau Blaugrana, where the final was played.
There were three FC Barcelona Lassa players involved: Tom Digbeu, Oier Ardanza and Erik Kall.

20 players, including FCB’s Tom Digbeu, were picked to play in the final, which was won by the Black team, 75-56 against the Greys.
Ten of the players that appeared in that game will now be travelling to New York to feature in the final of the Jordan Classic. The European team, Digbeu included, will be playing a team from the Americas.
