The 2002 McDonald's All-American Boys Game was an All-star basketball game played on Thursday, April 4, 2002 at the Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York.
For the 25th game, McDonald's chose a prestigious venue: the Madison Square Garden.
The East team was led by JJ Redick, who earned the MVP award by scoring 26 points, which included 5 3-point shots made.
Two players declared their eligibility for the 2002 NBA draft: DeAngelo Collins and Amar'e Stoudemire.
Stoudemire was selected with the 9th overall pick by the Phoenix Suns, while Collins, who was by far the oldest player in the All-American game at almost 22 years of age, went undrafted and never played in the NBA, opting to play professionally overseas.
