9th Annual adidas
Las Vegas Big Time Tournament
July 22, 23, 24, 25 & 26, 2002
Las Vegas, Nevada
400 Teams, 5,000+ athletes
NCAA Certified Event

We had to leave the tournament site to get back to Los Angeles before the All-Tournament team was announced, but Domanic Clark, the Big Time's media info guru e-mailed them to us, and they are listed below, and they include some of Southern California's best players in this class: Josh Shipp, Robert Swift, Bryce Taylor, Jordan Farmar, and Nick Young (who also recently committed to USC on Sunday after the tournament ended--he'll attend a year at prep school at Brewster Academy in New Hampshire, before joining the Trojans).  We think the all-tournament guys missed out on a few SoCal guys, but this is a pretty representative sampling of the best of the best from this year's event, and the list below features more than a few players who we will all one day be watching in the NBA.  Congratulations to those players selected.
