The 5th Annual Ballislife All-American Game<\/strong><\/a> presented by U.S. Army in Long Beach, Calif., will feature many of the nation\u2019s top high school boys basketball players. The national high school all-star game is set to take place May 2 at Long Beach City College\u2019s Hall of Champions Gymnasium (3931 Faculty Ave. Long Beach, Calif. 90808).<\/p>\n The 2015 BIL A-A Game begins at 8:00 pm EST and will be televised live on CBS Sports. It will be preceded by the The BIL Slam Dunk Contest<\/strong> presented by Eastbay<\/strong> beginning at 5:15 pm EST.<\/p>\n The 2015 edition of the BIL All-American Game figures to be its best collection of talent yet. Scheduled to make his only national all-star game appearance at the event is 7-foot<\/strong> Thon Maker<\/strong><\/a>, one of the most viral talents in recent high school basketball lore. After reclassifying to the Class of 2015 during the high school season, Maker is already projected as a top prospect for the 2016 NBA Draft.<\/p>\n At least 16 players who will earn All-American acclaim this season from reputable organizations are scheduled to participate. Eleven were named McDonald's or Jordan Brand All-Americans.<\/p>\n The game will also feature eight local Southern California products along with nine Pac-12 recruits. The locals include USC recruits Benny Boatwright<\/strong> (Village Christian, Sun Valley, Calif.) and Chimezie Metu<\/strong> (Lawndale, Calif.), Arizona-bound Chance Comanche<\/strong> (Beverly Hills, Calif.), San Diego St.-bound Jeremy Hemsley<\/strong> (Damien, La Verne, Calif.), Notre Dame-bound Rex Pflueger <\/strong>(Mater Dei, Santa Ana, Calif.), Oregon St.-bound Stevie Thompson Jr.<\/strong> (Bishop Montgomery, Torrance, Calif.) and Oregon-bound Tyler Dorsey<\/strong> (Maranatha, Pasadena, Calif.). The BIL A-A game will also mark the return of Arizona-bound Justin Simon, <\/strong>who previously prepped at Temecula Valley (Temecula, Calif.) and explosive point guard Marcus Lovett Jr.<\/strong>, who attended San Gabriel (Calif.) Academy before playing his senior year in Chicago.<\/p>\n Past participants in the Ballislife All-American Game include Nick Johnson<\/strong> (Arizona\/Rockets), Jahii Carson<\/strong> (Arizona St\/Overseas), Jordan Adams<\/strong> (UCLA\/Memphis Grizzlies), Aquille Carr<\/strong> (Overseas\/Streetball phenomenon), Jabari Brown<\/strong> (Missouri\/Los Angeles Lakers), early NBA Draft entry candidates Stanley Johnson<\/strong> (Arizona), Kevon Looney<\/strong> (UCLA), Glenn Robinson III<\/strong> (Michigan\/76ers) and Zach LaVine<\/strong> (UCLA\/Minnesota Timberwolves).<\/p>\n In 2013, Lavine won the Ballislife Slam Dunk Contest<\/a> with one of the best high school dunking exhibitions in recent memory which also served as a prelude to him capturing the 2015 NBA All-Star Game dunk contest title.<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n
