Meyers Leonard at Nike Hoops Summit

Having generated plenty of buzz, Meyers got in the game with about three minutes left in the first quarter (the game was played with international rules). He immediately got a block and renewed the fan interest, and delivered the next trip down with a monster dunk. A couple trips later he was fouled trying to throw down another. One of the kids behind me said that he liked how he tried to dunk everything. Meyers was robbed of another block by a travel call. With the World player driving to the hoop, Leonard took off and got incredible lift, completely eclipsing the basket, and drawing a whoa from the gallery. Sadly, the whistle blew, and the World player didn't bother to try a shot. "That would have had NO chance."
