The Nike Hoop Summit is a basketball all-star game sponsored by Nike, held once a year since 1995, which features the USA Basketball Men's Junior Select Team against a World Select team of international players. The players demonstrate their skills and hope to attract attention from either NBA scouts or colleges. A number of current NBA players have participated in this event in the past, including Kevin Garnett, Derrick Rose, Kevin Durant, and John Wall for the U.S. team, and Dirk Nowitzki, Tony Parker, Nicolas Batum, Serge Ibaka, Enes Kanter, and Patrick Mills for the World Select team. In the 2010 edition of the event, Enes Kanter scored 34 points and surpassed the event's record of 33 points set by Dirk Nowitzki in 1998. Bismack Biyombo recorded the first triple-double in Hoop Summit history in 2011 with 12 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 blocks. In 2012, Shabazz Muhammad scored 35 points to break Enes Kanter's Hoop Summit scoring record.

Famous quotes containing the word summit:
“What if it tempt you toward the flood, my lord,
Or to the dreadful summit of the cliff
That beetles o’er his base into the sea,
And there assume some other horrible form
Which might deprive your sovereignty of reason,
And draw you into madness?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
