IN PHOTOS: Team USA and Canada place in the Jump 10 World Hoops Challenge

Last month, athletes from all over the world gathered at Shanghai, China to represent their country in the Jump 10 World Hoops Challenge. Among the participating countries, Team USA bested the competition and won first place. They were then followed by Team Canada at second place; and Team Mexico in third place.

Other than the basketball games, the Jump 10 World Hoops Challenge also featured a Slam Dunk contest — in which an athlete from Team USA was awarded.

Here are some highlights of the championship game and the awarding ceremony:
