The McDonald's All-American is one of the biggest annual events in high school basketball. The event, featuring boys and girls games, among other exciting activities, features the crème de la crème of high school basketball. Two teams, each representing the East and the West coasts, go head-to-head in one of the most heated contests seen in the game every year.

The teams consist of players handpicked by top analysts, journalists, and coaches over several stages. The final selection for the games was announced in January with several high-profile snubs, including No. 1 prospect out of New York, Kiyan Anthony.

Anthony's absence from the selection raised a bit of dust as the games are being held at Brooklyn's Barclays Center. This marks the first time in the event's almost 50 years of existence to be held in Brooklyn. The event featured a pre-games warmup, the Sprite Jam Fest televised live on ESPN2.

The main activities started on Tuesday evening with a girls' game at 6:30 p.m. ET.

While Kayode believes there is little to separate college and mainstream sports, pro leagues absorbing the best athletes leads to their quality being higher. Witnessing the Colorado Buffaloes’ hot streak at start the 2023 football season was one of his all-time favorite college sports moments.
