NEW YORK (April 29, 2026) — The National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) today announced that its Top 100 Camp (Top 100) will return for its 32nd year, June 8-11 in Rock Hill, S.C., for several days of skill development programming and unrivaled mentorship from current and former NBA players. This year’s camp will feature guest coaches Rajon Rondo, Phil Handy, and Tom Crean, among other NBA players and former Division I college and NBA coaches. 

 “Our goal with Top 100 is focused on professional development and preparing potential NBA players for what lies ahead on and off the court,” said Shaun Livingston, Head of Elite Youth and Basketball Activation at the NBPA. “With this year’s group of coaches, including guys like Rajon, Phil, and Tom, it really enables us to create an elevated environment for players to learn and build long-term habits for success.” 

Top 100’s group of coaches will deliver an experience focused on skill development, incorporating situational basketball, pro combine drills, instructional sessions on offensive and defensive concepts, and competitive 5-on-5 games in a showcase format.  In addition to the on-court programming, players at Top 100 attend educational sessions on NIL, mental health & wellness, and financial literacy, equipping them with the skills needed for success beyond the basketball court. 

In conjunction with Top 100, the NBPA also hosts the Coaching Program, where NBA players interested in coaching careers are paired with former NCAA and NBA coaches to learn fundamental coaching principles. As part of this structure, elite youth athletes are immersed in a mentorship environment led by NBA players and veteran coaches.
