Bellarmine Prep's Avery Bradley and Abdul Gaddy were named co-MVPs, along with Serbia's Nikola Markovic, of the Nike Global Challenge basketball tournament last weekend in Hillsboro, Ore.

The Tacoma duo led their team, USA2, to the tournament championship, beating USA1 117-104 in the final. Bradley scored a game-high 25 points in the title game, while Gaddy finished with 12 points and seven assists.

Teams from Canada, Serbia, Puerto Rico, Senegal and Lithuania competed at the event. Future college players dotted the rosters of the three American teams. Here's a link to the USA players.

The Oregonian was all over the tournament, providing game recaps, interviews and video.

Here's a video of Bradley dunking on a Serbian, courtesy of The Oregonia.
