NEW YORK — New York native Dakari Johnson is returning home this week for the Jordan Brand Classic, which takes place Saturday at Barclays Center.

It’s been quite a week for the 6-foot-10 Johnson, who last weekend won the ESPN National High School Invitational with coach Kevin Boyle’s Montverde (Fla..) Academy team.

After the game, he guaranteed a Kentucky national championship in 2014.

In this video interview with SNY.tv, Johnson talks about the NHSI title, playing with five other Kentucky All-Americans in the Jordan Classic and his guarantee.
