Columbus to Host 2010 McDonald’s All-American Basketball Game

Today McDonalds announced that Columbus, Ohio will host the 2010 McDonald’s All American Games. The Games will be played on March 31, 2010 at Value City Arena, home of The Ohio State University basketball teams.

Former McDonald’s All-American MVPs include Shaquille O’Neal, Shawn Bradley (haha), Kevin Garnett, LeBron James, Dwight Howard, Kevin Durant, and Michael Beasley. I will MOST DEFINITELY be in attendance. Almost every player featured in the All-American game goes on to have successful college and NBA careers. You won’t get many chances in your lifetime to see this much young talent together in one place.

Below is a video of highlights from the 2008 All-American game. It’s almost like an And 1 Mixtape but with 17 and 18 year olds. The dude with the flat top dominating most of these highlights is Brandon Jennings. Look for big things from him in the future.

Thanks to The Columbus Underground for the heads up.
