NEW YORK, NY, July 26, 2021 - The National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) announced today that SLAM, the global basketball brand and leading publisher of hoops culture, will be the official media partner of the 2021 TOP 100 High School Basketball Camp (TOP 100). Taking place at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at the Walt Disney World Resort near Orlando, Florida, the NBPA and SLAM will provide premium content throughout the camp while amplifying TOP 100’s story on SLAM’s digital, social and print channels.

As the official media partner of TOP 100, SLAM will create and share an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at this year’s camp that features 60 of the best high school players from around the country.

SLAM will collaborate with the NBPA to provide comprehensive coverage of this year’s camp on their SLAM and SLAM HS social accounts, including highlight reels of the camp’s top players along with daily mixtapes of each day’s action. SLAM will also feature exclusive interviews and coverage of the unique elements of the camp, including the TOP 100 Coaching Program and TOP 100 Parents Program.

“SLAM is a leader in grassroots basketball coverage and has been covering our TOP 100 Camp for a long time,” said Purvis Short, Chief of Player of Programs of the NBPA. “We are excited to bring them in this year as our official media partner to help us tell the unique story of TOP 100 in all its elements on and off the court, and we look forward to the start of camp and the thrilling week ahead.”

“We’re honored to partner with the NBPA to cover their TOP 100 Camp this year,” said Adam Figman, Chief Content Officer of SLAM. “SLAM has been covering the event for many years now—literally decades—and with all that the NBPA has planned for the event this year, it made perfect sense to join forces and go deeper in our involvement with the camp than ever before.”
