It was all love for Cameron Brink from the Stanford commits in the 2025 McDonald's All-American girls' basketball game, leaving the LA Sparks star's mother emotional. This year saw three standout players in the All-American girls' basketball game committed to Stanford for their collegiate basketball.

Cameron's mother, Michelle Brink, reposted a post by @enjoybball on her Instagram story that featured all three commits giving flowers to the Stanford alum. Holy Innocents' Episcopal School's Hailee Swain said that when she had visited Stanford before committing, not only did she meet Brink but also the Curry family.

Lara Somfai showered love on the Sparks star and said that she was starstruck after meeting Brink in person. She also said that she frequently talks to the WNBA star. Alexandra Eschmeyer added that Brink was a role model for her.

Michelle Brink reacted to the wholesome video with 'controlling tears' and 'tree' emojis.

Hailee Swain and Lara Somfai will represent the East team in the McDonald's All-American Game at Barclays Center. On the other hand, Alexandra Eschmeyer will be part of the West team.

Both of Cameron Brink's parents are also former collegiate basketball players. Her mom and dad, Greg Brink, played for Virginia Tech.

Michelle also developed a long-lasting friendship with her then-roommate Sonya Curry, the mother of NBA superstar Steph Curry. They have been friends for over 40 years now.
