It was first established in 1977, with notable NBA greats like Magic Johnson, Dominique Wilkins, Doc Rivers, Michael Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, LeBron James, and more playing on it.

Being considered for one is a great honor and the highlight of many high school hoopers' careers.

How are players selected for the McDonald's All-American Games?

High school basketball coaches, principals, athletic directors, and members of the McDonald’s All-American Games Selection Committee must nominate up to two players from their respective schools.

The Selection Committee then evaluates the nominees "based on the individual player’s fundamental skill level, basketball IQ, competitive motor, potential for continued growth and development and athleticism."

However, nominees must be able to play in at least 50% of their school's games that season, which means those who were out for most of the season due to injury are not eligible.
