The 1993 McDonald's All-American Boys Game was an all-star basketball game played on Friday, April 2, 1993 at the Mid-South Coliseum in Memphis, Tennessee. The game's rosters featured the best and most highly recruited high school boys graduating in 1993. The game was the 16th annual version of the McDonald's All-American Game first played in 1978.

1993 game

[edit]

The game was telecast live by CBS. Rashard Griffith was selected as a McDonald's All-American but did not play in the game because of the NCAA limit of 2 all-star games: having already played in the Roundball Classic and the Illinois-US All-Stars game, he was unable to participate in the McDonald's event.[1] The Mid-South Coliseum was sold out for the event: the top prospects of the teams were big men Rasheed Wallace and Darnell Robinson. The MVP title was awarded to two players, Jacque Vaughn for the West team and Jerry Stackhouse for the East. Vaughn was noted for his pass-first style of play and broke the assist record with 13 (the record still stands as of 2018); on the other hand, Stackhouse showed his finishing ability and scored 27 points, becoming the game's top scorer. Other players who starred were Robinson (19 points and 10 rebounds), Charles O'Bannon (19 points), Jerald Honeycutt (14), Keith Booth (15) and Dontonio Wingfield, who also recorded a double-double with 13 points and 13 rebounds. Rasheed Wallace fouled out after scoring 9 points.[2][3][4] Of the 22 players, 10 went on to play at least one game in the NBA.
