The ITP crew goes hard on this year's McDonald's All-American selections. Was Bronny James deserving? The podcast also breaks down the first father-son-grandfather trio, the game in its early years vs. now, trends, snubs, the college choices, and the future of the game.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dsz7vodgjx60a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/19124919\/McDONALDS-websafe.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-263920\" src=\"https:\/\/dsz7vodgjx60a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/19124919\/McDONALDS-websafe.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dsz7vodgjx60a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/19124919\/McDONALDS-websafe.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/dsz7vodgjx60a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/19124919\/McDONALDS-websafe-960x540.jpg 960w, https:\/\/dsz7vodgjx60a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/19124919\/McDONALDS-websafe-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ballislife.com\/preseason-poy-tracker-who-wants-it-most\/\">Preseason 2022-23 Mr. Basketball USA Tracker<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/spoti.fi\/3XG3Kso\">\"In The Paint\" Podcast\u00a0(Spotify)<\/a> | \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCAxSEraMigXGMoDVLg_qHNA\">\"In The Paint\" Podcast (YouTube)<\/a>\u00a0| <a href=\"https:\/\/ballislife.com\/honor\/mcdaag\/\">BIL McDonald's All-American Game Archives<\/a> | \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ballislife.com\/mcdaag-case-jakobe-walter\/\">McDAAG Case: Ja'Kobe\u00a0Walter<\/a>\u00a0| <a href=\"https:\/\/ballislife.com\/texans-in-mcdaag-then-vs-now\/\">Texans in McDAAG: Then vs. Now!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"omc-video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%; height: 100%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ESc8uRgAIQ8\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen width=\"600\" height=\"420\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><strong>McDonald's All-American Game Notes &amp; Tidbits<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>*The 2023 game is will be played at the Toyota Center in Houston, March 28 (9 pm ET, ESPN).\u00a0The 2020 game was to be played at the same location, but was canceled because of COVID-19, as was the 2021 game.<\/p>\n<p>*The first recognized team in 1977 had 15 players and actually played against the DMV team in the <a href=\"https:\/\/ballislife.com\/honor\/cap-classic\/\">Capital Classic<\/a>, which began in 1974. The actual East vs. West format began in 1978 at the Spectrum in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n<p>*Every NCAA championship team since 1978 has had a McDonald\u2019s All-American on its roster except three: 2002 Maryland, 2014 UConn, 2021 Baylor.<\/p>\n<p>*Despite scoring 30 points and hitting the game-winning free throws in the 1981 McDonald\u2019s All-American Game to give his East team a 96-95 victory, <strong>Michael Jordan<\/strong> was not named Game MVP for the Est. That honor went to DeMatha Catholic\u2019s <strong>Adrian Branch<\/strong>, who went on to play at Maryland. It was the second major slight of Jordan's high school career. The first one was <em>not being named one of the top 500 seniors in the nation<\/em> in the preseason <strong>Street &amp; Smith\u2019s<\/strong> Magazine Basketball Annual. Jordan's mother Deloris was the one most upset with that.<\/p>\n<p>*A majority of the teams that have finished <a href=\"https:\/\/ballislife.com\/salute-to-all-time-fab-50-no-1s\/\">No. 1 in the FAB 50 National Team Rankings<\/a> or by the <em>National Sports News Service<\/em> before 1987-88 has had a McDonald\u2019s All-American on the roster. The five mythical national championship teams that did not have a future McDonald\u2019s All-American on its roster are: 2009-10 Yates (Houston, Texas), 1998-99 Oak Hill Academy (Mouth of Wilson, Va.), 1994-95 St. Augustine (New Orleans, La.), 1985-86 Camden (N.J.) and 1985 Spingarn (Washington, D.C.). Five other teams didn\u2019t have a senior McDonald\u2019s All-American, but had a future one as an underclassmen: 2010-11 St. Anthony (Jersey City, N.J.) with junior <strong>Kyle Anderson<\/strong>, 2004-05 Niagara Falls (N.Y.) with sophomore <strong>Johnny Flynn<\/strong>, 1999-00 Dominguez (Compton, Calif.) with junior <strong>Tyson Chandler<\/strong>, 1995-96 St. Anthony (Jersey City, N.J.) with junior <strong>Anthony Perry<\/strong> and 1990-91 Simon Gratz (Philadelphia, Pa.) with sophomore <strong>Rasheed Wallace<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Programs with the Most McDonald\u2019s All-Americans<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>35:<\/strong> Oak Hill Academy (Mouth of WIlson, Va.) 1980<br \/><strong>14:<\/strong> Montverde Academy (Montverde, Fla.), 2013<br \/><strong>12:<\/strong> DeMatha Catholic (Hyattsville, Md.) 1979<br \/><strong>10:<\/strong> Findlay Prep (Henderson, Nev.) 2009<br \/><strong>10:<\/strong> IMG Academy (Brandenton, Fla.) 2017<br \/><strong>9:<\/strong> Prolific Prep (Napa, Calif.) 2016<br \/><strong>8:<\/strong> St. Anthony (Jersey City, N.J.) 1984<br \/><strong>7:<\/strong> Dunbar (Baltimore, Md.) 1983<br \/><strong>7:<\/strong> Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.) 1984<br \/><strong>6:<\/strong> Camden (N.J.) 1981<br \/><strong>6:<\/strong> Roman Catholic (Philadelphia, Pa.) 1978<br \/><strong>6:<\/strong> Wheeler (Marietta, Ga.) 1995<\/p>\n<p><em>Note:<\/em> Program listed by first year team member selected. Findlay Prep and St. Anthony are now closed. The only Oak Hill Academy McDonald\u2019s All-American selection who wasn\u2019t coached by recently retired coach Steve Smith was <strong>Glen Mayers<\/strong> in 1980.<\/p>\n<p>*<strong>Bronny James<\/strong> is the fifth McDonald\u2019s All-American from Sierra Canyon in the last four seasons.<\/p>\n<p>*IMG Academy has produced all of its All-Americans selections since 2016-17 and is the first program to have three players selected in the same year, when the 2019 FAB 50 No. 1 team produced <strong>Armando Bacot Jr.<\/strong>, <strong>Josh Green<\/strong> and <strong>Jeremiah Robinson-Earl<\/strong>. IMG Academy then produced three players for a single game once again in 2022 with <strong>Jaden Bradley<\/strong>, <strong>Jarace Walker<\/strong> and <strong>Keyonte George<\/strong>. The 2020 FAB 50 title team at Montverde Academy also had three selections: Mr. Basketball USA <strong>Cade Cunningham<\/strong>, first five Elite All-American <strong>Scottie Barnes<\/strong> and forward <strong>Day'Ron Sharpe<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>*The first pair of teammates selected to the McDonald\u2019s All-American Game were <strong>Aaron Bain<\/strong> and <strong>George Lynch<\/strong> in 1989 at Flint Hill Prep (Roanoke, Va.).<\/p>\n<p>*Since 2017, the teams that make up the <em>National Interscholastic Basketball Conference (NIBC)<\/em>, plus Prolific Prep (Napa, Calif.) and now defunct Findlay Prep (Henderson, Nev.) account for over 27 percent (46 of a possible 168) of all the MCDonald\u2019s All-American selections. The high mark was 11 of the 24 in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>*<strong>Milt Wagner<\/strong> (1981), <strong>Dujuan Wagner<\/strong> (2001) and <strong>D.J. Wagner<\/strong> (2023) is the first father-son-grandson combo to ever play in the game.<\/p>\n<p>*In the 1981 game in Wichita, Kan., Milt went 4-of-12 from the field, 1-of-2 from the line for 9 points as his East team won 96-95. In the 2001 game at Cameron Indoor Stadium at Duke, Dajuan went 7-of-15 from the field, 7-of-8 from the line for 25 points, but the West team won, 131-125.<\/p>\n<p>*The Wagner trio all attended Camden (N.J.) High School and all three played for nationally ranked teams. Only one of the other father-son McDonald\u2019s All-American duos attended the same high school (<strong>James Blackmon Sr.<\/strong> and Jr.). There have been eight other father-son duos and this year is the second time two sons of former McDonald\u2019s All-Americans both play in the same game, joining <strong>James Blackmon Jr.<\/strong> and <strong>Justise Winslow<\/strong> in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>*Bronny James (Sierra Canyon, Chatsworth, Calif.) joins his father, <strong>LeBron James<\/strong>, who played in the 2003 game in Cleveland, approximately 40 miles from his high school St. Vincent-St. Mary (Akron, Ohio). James had 27 points, seven rebounds and seven assists in the East\u2019s 122-107 victory in front of 18,728 at Gund Arena. James played in two other all-star games, helping to draw 19,678 to the <em>Roundball Classic<\/em>\u00a0at the United Center in Chicago. He also played in the 2003 <em>Capital Classic<\/em>, where 18,424 saw the annual game at the MCI Center.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other Father-Son McDAAG Duos (In Order Prior to 2023):<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Doc Rivers<\/strong>, Proviso East (Maywood, Ill.) 1980 &amp; <strong>Austin Rivers<\/strong>, Winter Park (Fla.) 2011<br \/><strong>James Blackmon Sr<\/strong>., Marion (Ind.) 1983 &amp; <strong>James Blackmon Jr.<\/strong>, Marion (Ind.) 2014<br \/><strong>Ricky Winslow<\/strong>, Yates (Houston) 1983 &amp; <strong>Justise Winslow<\/strong>, St. John\u2019s (Houston) 2014<br \/><strong>Rick Brunson<\/strong>, Salem (Mass.) 1991 &amp; <strong>Jalen Brunson,<\/strong> Stevenson (Lincolnshire, Ill.) 2015<br \/><strong>Charles Bannon Sr.<\/strong>, Artesia (Lakewood, Calif.) 1993 &amp; <strong>Charles O\u2019Bannon Jr.<\/strong>, Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas, Nev.) 2017<br \/><strong>Lester Earl<\/strong>, Glen Oaks (Baton Rouge, La.) 1996 &amp; <strong>Jeremiah Robinson-Earl<\/strong>, IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.) 2019<br \/><strong>Gary Springer<\/strong>, Ben Franklin (New York) 1980 &amp; <strong>Jaden Springer<\/strong>, IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.) 2020<\/p>\n<p><i><em>Ronnie Flores is the national Grassroots editor of Ballislife.com.
