OUR EVENTS
GH Classic
Gotham Hoops Classic The Classic is our annual high school and prep showcase, held each January in the Bronx. Now in its seventh year, it has grown into one of the most competitive grassroots events in the Northeast, drawing college coaches, scouts, and media from across the region. Hundreds of Classic alumni have gone on to play at the college level, with the top names now competing in the NBA and premier leagues worldwide.
GH Invitational
The Invitational (2014-19) was a postseason showcase for men's college seniors on the professional radar, modeled after the Portsmouth Invitational. Over six editions, more than 175 players used the event as a launching point to professional contracts in the NBA, G League, and top FIBA leagues around the world. The Invitational concluded its run in 2019, but its legacy is still playing out on courts across the globe.
