UNC recruiting target Cole Anthony named co-MVP of Jordan Brand Classic

Last month, Cole Anthony was named MVP of the McDonald’s All-American game. He followed that up with co-MVP honors in the Jordan Brand Classic on Saturday night. Though Team Black (Anthony’s team) ultimately fell 132-125 to Team White, the guard stood out as the best player on the court, which was an impressive feat given the talent on the floor.

Sure, we’re a little biased here, but 25 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists is about as well-rounded a performance as one can expect in an all-star setting. James Wiseman was the other MVP, leading Team White to victory with 21 points and 6 rebounds.
