„Vážení basketbalisté, milí příznivci a návštěvníci turnaje,
jsem moc rád, že vás opět po roce mohu přivítat v Jindřichově Hradci při turnaji YOUNG GUNS GBA Invitational. Minulý ročník u nás proběhl nadmíru úspěšně. Ověřili jsme si, že Jindřichův Hradec může nabídnout kvalitní sportovní zázemí a jistě i výbornou nejen soutěžní atmosféru. Pro město je velkým přínosem, že se na čtyři dny stane pomyslnou Mekkou mládežnického basketbalu. Věřím, že se zde všichni sportovci a návštěvníci turnaje budou cítit dobře, a to nejen díky kvalitnímu zázemí, ale i díky tomu, že jen pár kroků od sportovní haly mohou vplout do malebných uliček historického města. Basketbalistům přeji dobré výsledky, radost ze hry a doufám, že si najdou čas právě i na prohlídku města. Návštěvníkům přeji nezapomenutelné sportovní zážitky.“
