McDonald's All-American Game

Consisting of the top players, each team plays a single exhibition game after the conclusion of the high-school basketball season, in an East vs. West format.

That year, the All-Americans played in the McDonald's Capital Classic all-star game against a group of high school stars from the Washington, D.C.

[2][3] The following year, the McDonald's All American Game began with a boys contest between the East and West squads.

[9] The Greatest Boys McDonald's All-Americans list includes some of the top names in men's basketball history, and features past and present Olympics, NBA and NCAA stars.

The award is named in honor of high school coach Morgan Wootten, one of the founders of the McDonald's game.

In 2016, the skills contest was discontinued and replaced with a "Legends & Stars Shootout", involving teams consisting of one boy, one girl, and one All-American Game alumnus of either sex.

The Shootout is a timed competition in which each team must make a layup, free throw, three-pointer, and halfcourt shot in that order.
