McDonald's All-American Game

El McDonald's All-American Game es un partido que disputan los mejores baloncestistas de high school del año, tanto en la categoría de masculino como en la de femenino. Al finalizar la temporada, se realiza un partido de exhibición y como parte del evento se incluye un concurso de mates y otro de triples.

Tanto el evento como los equipos (Este y Oeste) están patrocinados por McDonald's.

El encuentro masculino comenzó en 1978, mientras que el femenino lo hizo en 2002.[1]

Muchos jugadores como Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, Chris Webber, Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James, Kevin Garnett, Isiah Thomas, Vince Carter, Jason Kidd, Grant Hill, Chris Bosh, DeMar DeRozan, Amare Stoudemire, Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving, Devin Booker, Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Ball, Jayson Tatum y Zion Williamson han formado parte del McDonald's All-American Team.
