"Upon
walking into US Airways Center and seeing the NABI banner
hanging next to the WNBA World Champions Phoenix Mercury
and the NBA Phoenix Suns banners; I finally had my moment.
I stood there and stared at the banner…..the images
of our Native athletes and how big the banner was…..it
is a moment that will stay with me forever. After 6 long
years, all the hard work WE (sponsoring tribes and corporations,
NABI teams, NABI volunteers, NABI staff and the many NABI
friends) put into NABI". “It doesn’t
get any bigger than this!”

NABI
is going into our 6th year, we gained NCAA certification
in 2007 becoming the first all Native High School basketball
tournament certified by the NCAA! This was monumental because
the NCAA recognized “tribe sovereignty” and
made an exception to the “adjoining state” rule
for ALL tribal tournaments. Our 2003 NABI MVP signed pro
with Spain and we continue to create endless opportunities
for our athletes to receive college scholarships and financial
aid. This summer we will have 80 teams competing for the
NABI title (from as far away as Alaska and Canada) and will
be receiving exposure to college scouts and coaches. Thank
you for all your support. We look forward to sharing another
incredible tournament with you!
See you at the games!!
