Jr. NBA Finals 2023: Champions claim their rings - gallery & highlights

The 2023 Basketball England Jr. NBA Finals are complete with champions crowned across England.

The North West Finals in Manchester brought almost a month of action to a close with 13 regional events across the country in June. 

The Jr. NBA League features 11-13-year-olds (Year 7 and Year 8) boys and girls who represent their secondary schools under the name of one of the 30 NBA teams. The League is organised and operated by Basketball England in partnership with the NBA.  

For the 2022/23 season there were 720 schools and more than 10,000 children involved – once again making it the largest Jr. NBA league in the world. 

Now we have our champions with the winners earning prized NBA rings and the runners up claiming medals.
