On Sunday, April 6, 2014, MVP Basketball hosted its 6th Annual Boys All-Star Day. The daylong program featured five All-Star Games comprised of players from 27 yeshivas throughout the NY/NJ Metro Area as selected by their respective coaches. This year, two new grades were added to the fun filled day: 6th grade and 7th grade were added to 8th grade, High School JV and Varsity games. Each of the participants received MVP All-Star Day T-shirts.

The teams were coached by coaches from the Yeshiva Leagues.
The games were extremely competitive and some came down to the last possession. At halftime of each game, the MVP 3-Point Shootout featured “specialists” as selected by their respective coaches. Each 3-point champion received an MVP 3-Point Shootout Trophy. Two MVP’s from each All-Star Game (one from the winning team and one from the losing team) were awarded MVP trophies as well.
