The 2000 Nike Global Challenge m en’s high school basketball tournament was held in Portland,
Oregon at the Tualatin Parks and Rec Center. Some o f the top talent in the world played at the
event. Most o f these players will be playing for major Division I powers next season and some
may even be playing in the NBA. The Nike Global Challenge, hosted an elite 16-team international
basketball tournament, and pitted 10 international teams and six U.S. high school travel teams in
four days o f pool play. The tournament matched four pools o f four teams with play-off games
determining a 16-slot bracket. Each team played a minimum o f 6 games. Sanctioned by USAB,
the Nike Global Challenge offered U.S. student-athletes the unique opportunity to compete with
their peers from across the globe. The Houston Hoops out o f Houston, Texas prevailed with a
(3) point desperation shot at the buzzer to win it all 73-72.
Right: Troy Barry, tournament Coordinator, congratulates Chris Rodgers, one o f the tournaments

Grant frustrates Trail Blazers again
AsSOCJAItftÎRÏSS
The Trail Blazers’ front office unleashed its frustration with free agent Brian
Grant on Monday, while G rant’s agent said he wondered what all the fuss was
about.
A high-level source with the Blazers said Grant had just rejected a six-year, $70
million contract offer to return to the team.
“He does not want to be in Portland,” the source said. “We have reached our
limit___ To us, this is a slap in the face.”
Mark Bartelstein, who represents Grant, took issue with that.
“As far as these reports that Brian said, ‘Get lost,’ or anything like that, nothing
cov'dbe further from the truth,” Bartelstein said. “W edon’t deal in ultimatums.
fit
.»____ ( i
and they haven’t done that___ This is far from acrimonius.”
The shouting match seemed to make one thing clear: If the Blazers and Grant
want each other anymore, they must patch things up quickly. And the Blazers
probably would have to raise their o tier again, moving closer or all the way to
the seven-year, $93 million deal that is the best available to Grant under NBA
rules.
Otherwise, Grant either will continue trying to negotiate a sign-and-trade deal.
preferably one that would move him to Miami or New York, or leave the Blazers
empty-handed by signing for $2.25 million next season with Miami.
A three-way trade, with Grant going to the Heat or Knicks and the Blazers
getting Cleveland’s Shawn Kemp, still is possible.
Grant visited the Heat las, week on his way to a vacation in Jamaica.
