Allen Iverson Brings Tenth Iverson Classic to Hampton Coliseum

allen iverson is bringing the tenth annual Iverson Classic All-American basketball game to Hampton Coliseum on Saturday night. The event pairs top prep recruits with NBA legends as coaches, and one player from Thursday’s 24K Showcase will earn a direct spot on the roster.

Hampton Coliseum Takes Center Stage

The All-American game is scheduled for Saturday, May 2nd at 7 p.m. at the Hampton Coliseum, with doors opening at 6 p.m. The arena is located at 1000 Coliseum Drive in Hampton, Virginia, and the game is presented by NBA superstar Allen Iverson as the nation’s premier All-American game.

That puts the main showcase in front of the home crowd two days after the 24K Showcase at Bethel High School in Hampton. Doors for that event open Thursday, April 30th at 5 p.m., with the game set for 6 p.m. at 1067 Big Bethel Road, Hampton, VA 23666.

24K Showcase At Bethel High

The 24K Showcase carries real weight inside the Iverson Classic series. Its most valuable player gets a direct spot on the Iverson Classic All-American roster, turning Thursday night into more than a warmup for Saturday’s main event.

That creates the clearest path into the roster for one player while the rest of the field still has to earn its place in front of a wider audience. Some of the nation’s top prep basketball recruits on their way to college are expected to play, and the game is built around that next level of talent.
