 The McDonald's All-American selection committee recently announced final rosters for the 33rd annual Boys Game and Girls Game. The Games will be played on March 31 at the Value City Arena in Columbus, OH. Despite the plethora of rankings and lists, McDonald's is still the bible of All-American games and the most prestigious ... surpassing Street & Smith and Parade All-American lists which have historically been the most respected. The 2010 members join a storied list of schoolboys which include the likes of Isiah Thomas, Magic Johnson, James Worthy, Chris Mullen, Patrick Ewing, Michael Jordan, etc. As a high school player myself, I memorized the list each year and followed their careers throughout college and into the NBA. The 2010 list includes three New Yorkers, Doron Lamb (Oak Hill) and Jayvaughn Pinkston (Bishop Loughlin) who performed in http://clicky.me/ShockExchangeComesToHarlem09 and Tobias Harris out of Half Hollow Hills High School in Long Island.
