The All-Star team featured standout players like Veer Sharma (Bal Bharti Public School) and Mohd. Ruhan Ahmed (Shri Sumer Senior Secondary School), highlighting the depth of talent in the region.

The program, which has been a major part of the NBA’s efforts to develop basketball in India, is held in association with the Basketball Federation of India (BFI). It has impacted over 14 million youth and 15,000 physical education instructors across the country.
