Kyrie Irving graced the NBPA Top 100 high school basketball camp in South Carolina. As someone willing to speak his mind, he shared some pointers to up-and-coming basketball stars. In addition to mentoring these young prospects while his recovery from injury continues, he also gave out pairs of his new ANTA Kai 2 shoes.

As a coach shared a video on X, the Dallas Mavericks guard signed autographs of his new shoe and gave them to the camp’s participants. Irving debuted the KAI 2 during the 2025 NBA All-Star Game, but ANTA officially launched the shoe on the last day of February. According to ANTA’s official website, the shoe “is a visual representation of Kyrie’s artistry, mirroring his fluidity on the hardwood and his off-court creative spirit.”

In addition to “Artist on Court,” the ANTA KAI 2 comes in five other designs: Mother’s Day, Solar Return, Dallas, Retro 90, and Triple Black. All these designs feature an anti-slip rubber outsole for exceptional grip and Full-Palm Nitrogen technology for cushioned stepping.

Meanwhile, three Class of 2026 top prospects are among the participants in the NBPA Top 100 high school basketball camp. Leading the seniors is five-star shooting guard Caleb Holt, who recently transferred from Grayson to Prolific Prep. Holt ranks fifth among the Class of 2026 with a 98.7 On3 Industry Ranking.

Joining him in the NBPA Top 100 is Tahj Ariza, ranked seventh at 98.48. The five-star small forward from St. John Bosco is also the third-best prospect at his position and sixth in California. Likewise, Long Island Lutheran’s Dylan Mingo joins the 111 participants of this high school basketball camp.

Meanwhile, Baba Oladotun leads the Class of 2027 camp participants. The 6-foot-8 small forward from Blake High School (Maryland) ranks second in the nation among high school basketball juniors. The top-ranked player, C.J. Rosser, helped Team USA win gold in the 2025 FIBA U16 AmeriCup in Mexico. Finally, Madison-Ridgeland Academy’s Erick Dampier Jr. is the only Class of 2028 participant.
