The nation's best hoopers get set to take on
Brooklyn this April for high
school basketball's most iconic showcase
CHICAGO, Jan. 27,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The McDonald's All American
Games is headed to the basketball mecca of Brooklyn for the first time ever, descending
on Barclays Center for a showdown featuring basketball's future
all-stars. For almost five decades, the McDonald's All American
Games have been a red thread connecting some of the game's most
elite players. And today, the Selection Committee has revealed the
next group of 48 athletes to hold the most prestigious honor in
high school basketball... introducing the 2025 class of McDonald's
All Americans.
Legends in the Making
The final group of 24
girls and 24 boys were hand selected by a collection of the game's
top analysts, prep scouts, media and coaches, from hundreds of
potential high school players. This next generation of players
represent communities from across the nation, each looking to make
their own unique mark on the Games' rich history, continuing a
48-year legacy of impact both on and off the court.
From Court to Community
Community has remained a
key fixture in the Games' mission since its founding and this year
is no different. At the 2025 Games, we're taking our commitment to
community a step further with new and continued investments in
neighborhood networks and local organizations such as Ronald
McDonald House Charities® (RMHC®). The
Games will once again benefit RMHC through its network
of local Chapters, and fans can join in supporting RMHC
and the Brooklyn community
through various Games Week activities.
