The 2025 Spalding Hoophall Classic provided numerous great games, performances and moments.

Former NBA players' sons like Bryce James (son of LeBron), Kiyan Anthony, (son of Carmelo), Cameron and Cayden Boozer (sons of Carlos Boozer), Jaxon Richarson (son of Jason Richardson), and Kaden and Kalek House (son of Eddie House) all provided an extra layer of buzz.

James caught fire en route to four 3-pointers while Anthony showed off his efficient scoring. Both led their teams to victory and were named game MVP in their respective games.

The nation's top players were on display, too. The No. 1 boys’ player in the country AJ Dybantsa made his homecoming to Massachusetts; the No. 2 girls’ player Kaleena Smith dazzled in front of UConn women’s coach Geno Auriemma; and Etiwanda girls’ snapped Incarnate Word’s 141-game winning streak.

The Naismith Hall of Fame announced the 2025 Hoophall Classic All-Showcase teams, highlighting the five best boys and girls' players through the event.
