What a week in the UK!  We had such a great group of players, coaches and staff during the event and it is hard to believe it's already over.

I just thought it would be fun to blog live during the all-star game of the action for all of the fans following us.

I have really been looking forward to the last day of camp to see which players have the heart to work through all of the pain and exhaustion from the weekend to perform at the highest level.

It is almost 2 am and I am just getting back to my hotel from the triple-overtime NBA game in London that the New Jersey Nets won by 1 over the Toronto Raptors.

It was definitely an early morning today.  After getting back to the hotel late last night from the evening session, the buses rolled out of the hotel at 7:45 am this morning.

What a great session tonight. The buzz among the coaches is the level of talent with these 40 players.

We did a brief walk-through of the Surrey Sports Park this morning in preparation of the first session tonight. This is going to be a great year for the Jordan Brand Classic International Tour.

Our coaching staff all arrived today and we finished getting the product ready for the players.  We have included a special preview for you.

After a day and a half of work at the hotel, we finally made it out to central London to see the sights.

It's an early morning here in London.  Wide-awake at 6 am after a fantastic sleep.  It's overcast and very cold once again.  I got up and made my way down to the hotel gym this morning to make sure I keep my body on track with the time difference.

The first day in England is coming to a close.  I have been awake for all but about two hours since leaving home on Monday morning -- hopefully will adjust to the new time zone by morning.

We landed safely at London Heathrow Airport at about 9:00 am local time (or 2 am my "regular" time).  It was so great to finally arrive after a long day/night on airplanes.

It is “Day One” of my 2011 Jordan Brand Classic International Tour blog.  I can’t believe that it is already my fourth annual trip with Jordan Brand to Europe.  This is one of the highlights of the year and it is always a great time sharing the experience with everyone.

The fifth annual Jordan Brand Classic International Tour is traveling to England this year to select 10 players for our International Game as part of the Jordan Brand Classic!  Follow along with our blog this week as we take you behind the scenes!
