"Does he go pro now just because of this game?" (speaking of JR) "No" -- uh, yeah, this was the decider - the deep threes, etc. Had he not shown out, he would have gone to UNC
Everyone but 2 guys in this game made the NBA.....mike Williams and jawann mcclenan sadly didnt ...3 all stars were in the game Howard rondo Aldridge ...3 guys.in Jefferson Rudy gay and josh smith should of been all stars at 1 point least 1 time...I would say 17 made some impact in the NBA and 15 mattered ....10 are still in the NBA ...11 played a game this season....
Gotta give it.to smith ..he made the NBA because of his work ethic and because he wasn't affraid to shoot miss or make mistakes...a lot of guys with more talent don't work on their game like he did or have his drive ...cough shabazz Mohammad for example..deshawn stevenson is another....and many don't even make the nba ..he made a lot of money being mr irrational confidence guy
You got Dwight Howard al jefferson rajon rondo josh smith rudy gay lamarcus Aldridge and j.r. smith all who were bigger stars then Livingston in the NBA as well as Marvin Williams Jordan Farmar Corey brewer Aaron afflalo glen Davis in this game and shaun is who you point out?..smh warriors bandwagon ...don't forget Telfair too..
7....Dwight josh Jefferson Livingston j.r. swift and Telfair ....4 of them are still in the NBA...smith is a free agent who was waived by the pelicans in November who he played 3 games for and is still getting paid from..Telfair and swift were busts sadly
Big Baby! Glen Davis Celtics legend! Went off the rails a bit after that though going to jail for fraud scamming the NBA healthcare benefits but there was a brief time when he was actually pretty good on the Celtics
This was the best Mcdonalds high school all star game ever, imo.

Its kinda crazy how a guy like robert smith is in jail while lebron james and jr smith are playing in the finals
This was back when playing in this game could mean if you entered the draft or went to college.
This one game has a representative and Champion from the 08-11 15-18 and 2020 NBA FINALS
Hella players still in the nba today one the best class
Shaun livingston went straight to the NBA
Like a boss
So did al Jefferson Dwight Howard josh smith j.r. smith Robert swift and Sebastian Telfair ...7 guys went straight to the NBA lol....
This is the most successful McDonald's All-American class in terms of number of NBA players: only 2 did not make the NBA (McClellan and Mike Williams)
Too bad none of these players accomplished anything compared to the 1995,1996,2003,2007 and 1981 classes
Very athletic class, Rudy Gay and Marvin William should've gone straight to the NBA.
Marvin Williams?? He was 🗑🗑
My favorite McDonald's game ever!

Rondo and Josh smith off the bench damn lol
That was crazy I just told Josh about this
😂😂😂😂 "Howard can shoot" jesus christ, look what a mere 13 years has done to the game. they play so different
jr smith hasn't changed 1 bit lmao first ball he got he threw it up
Gotta give it.to smith ..he made the NBA because of his work ethic and because he wasn't affraid to shoot miss or make mistakes...a lot of guys with more talent don't work on their game like he did or have his drive ...cough shabazz Mohammad for example..deshawn stevenson is another....and many don't even make the nba ..he made a lot of money being mr irrational confidence guy
Asmosis Jones good analysis, he the goat
Shaun Livingston 🙌🏿
You got Dwight Howard al jefferson rajon rondo josh smith rudy gay lamarcus Aldridge and j.r. smith all who were bigger stars then Livingston in the NBA as well as Marvin Williams Jordan Farmar Corey brewer Aaron afflalo glen Davis in this game and shaun is who you point out?..smh warriors bandwagon ...don't forget Telfair too..
@@razkable Livingston got injured badly he would of been a star if it wasnt for that bad knee injury look it up
If it wasn't for the injury Livingston would have been the best in the class. The fact that he has played for so long is incredible in itself.
Lamarcus was a junior.. Other than Dwight he is probably the best active player from this game
JR Smith had so much talent. If he cared as much about the game as he did about going to titty bars he would've been a HOF'er.
Fell in love with making himself a spot up shooter🤷🤷
11:25 boobie gibson got him a butt slap in
DAMNIT ROBERT SWIFT!
That east starting lineup was hot
Asfff!
This McDonald’s All- American game has the Most NBA Players✅
LOL Dwight a SF
Next to al 265 lb. 6'11 jefferson and 7 ft morris he was a sf..Jesus.....
Howard can shoot the ball? Lol
HOLY SHIT FUNNIEST MOST AWKWARD MOMENT @ 42:00.. THANKS MR SWIFTY..
How many players in this class did not go to college?
7....Dwight josh Jefferson Livingston j.r. swift and Telfair ....4 of them are still in the NBA...smith is a free agent who was waived by the pelicans in November who he played 3 games for and is still getting paid from..Telfair and swift were busts sadly
JR tho
Who won a championship in this class? Shaun Livingston
+Liu Bin Rondo? lmao
+Liu Bin Rondo won it first
and now Jr smith
also Jordan farmer has a ring with the Lakers
Glen Davis
Big Baby! Glen Davis Celtics legend! Went off the rails a bit after that though going to jail for fraud scamming the NBA healthcare benefits but there was a brief time when he was actually pretty good on the Celtics
Oh lord not doug on commentary
LMAO. Horrible
This class was insane!!!!!!!!
Jordan Farmar, has two rings with the Lakers!
Imagine thinking JR Smith and Shaun Livingston would be better than Dwight Howard
Arron afflalo originally committed to Kentucky?
I mean..its Kentucky...why not..it is bizarre but
Shaun Livingston (Duke)? Huh? Pretty sure he didn’t go to college.
He committed as well as Jr alota players used to go straight nba even tho they had offers
Nobody knew rondo yet lol
