McDonald's All-American
< 2017	2019 >

The 2018 McDonald's All-American Boys Game was an All-starbasketball game that was played on Wednesday, March 28, 2018 at the Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, home of the Atlanta Hawks. The game's rosters featured the best and most highly recruited high school boys graduating in 2018. The game is the 41st annual version of the McDonald's All-American Game first played in 1977.

The 24 players were selected from 2,500 nominees by a committee of basketball experts. They were chosen not only for their on-court skills but for their performances off the court as well. Coach Morgan Wootten, who had more than 1,200 wins as head basketball coach at DeMatha Catholic High School, was chairman of the selection committee.

Rosters[edit]

When the rosters were announced on January 16, 2018, Duke & Kansas both had three selectees, while Oregon, Kentucky, North Carolina, and Vanderbilt each had two. At the announcement of roster selections, only 10 schools were represented and had 6 players uncommitted. On Jan. 20, Zion Williamson committed to Duke, giving them four selections which gave them most of any school. On Jan. 22, Moses Brown committed to UCLA which brought the total number of schools to 11. John Mirabello (Northwest Catholic High School, West Hartford, Conn.) and Brad Lauwers (A.J. Dimond High School, Anchorage, Alaska) coached the East and West teams, respectively.

(Redirected from All-Star Game)

An all-star game is an exhibition game that purports to showcase the best players (the 'stars') of a sports league. The exhibition is between two teams organized solely for the event, usually representing the league's teams based on region or division, but sometimes dividing the players by an attribute such as nationality. Selection of the players may be done by a vote of the coaches and/or news media; in professional leagues, fans may vote on some or all of the roster. An all-star game usually occurs at the midpoint of the regular season. An exception is American football's Pro Bowl, which occurs at the end of the season.

All-star games are usually organized like regular games, but are often played with less emphasis on victory. Competing goals are to give many players time in the game and to avoid injury. In ice hockey, for example, there is no serious checking, while in American football no blitzing is allowed. In basketball, there is virtually no defense played until the final quarter. However, the Australian State of Origin series does involve physicality that often leads to on-field scuffles.

The current format of the NHLAll-Star Game differs significantly from that of normal league games. Instead of a single game, the event is organized as a four-team knockout tournament, with each team representing one of the league's divisions. Additionally, each game within the event is contested as a single 20-minute period, making the playing time of the All-Star Game identical to that of a regulation NHL game. The most radical difference is the on-ice team composition—instead of five skaters and one goaltender at full strength, each team has three skaters and a goaltender. Due to the reduced team sizes, penalties that normally cause the penalized team to lose a skater instead give the non-penalized team an extra skater.

The term 'all-star' is mainly used in North America. All-star games are rare in international sports (such as association football) where games between national teams are more popular than all-star games would be. In the United Kingdom, all-star teams are usually denoted with the Roman numeral corresponding to the number of players allowed on the field – for example, a soccer or cricketXI, a rugby leagueXIII and a rugby unionXV.^{[citation needed]}

Major League Baseball organized the first professional league all-star game as part of the 1933 World's Fair in Chicago. It was the brainchild of Arch Ward, then sports editor for The Chicago Tribune.^[1] Initially intended to be a one-time event, its great success resulted in playing the game annually. Ward's contribution was recognized by Major League Baseball in 1962 with the creation of the 'Arch Ward Trophy', given to the All-Star Game's most valuable player each year.^[2]

Professional all-star games[edit]

North America[edit]

Major leagues[edit]

Major League Baseball All-Star Game (National League vs. American League)
National Basketball Association All-Star Game
- The game has had two formats throughout its history:
  - The original format used from the first game in 1951 until 2017 pitted Eastern Conference and Western Conference all-star teams.
  - Since 2018, it has followed a fantasy draft format, similar to the 2011–2015 format of the NHL All-Star Game (see below), involving the selection of players by a combination of fan, player, and media voting. The vote leaders for each conferences are then named as team captains for each all-star team, who then select players from the rest of the all-stars, regardless of the conference they play in.
National Hockey League All-Star Game
- The game has had a number of formats throughout its history:
  - The original format, used from 1947 through 1968 with two exceptions, saw the previous season's Stanley Cup champions take on an 'All-Star' team made up of the First and Second NHL All-Star Teams plus other star players.
  - In 1951 and 1952, the competing teams were the First NHL All-Star Team, supplemented with stars from the league's American franchises, and the Second NHL All-Star Team, supplemented with stars from Canadian franchises.
  - Beginning in 1969 and continuing through 2009, with some exceptions, the format was geographic—most recently Eastern Conference vs. Western Conference.
  - For 1979 and 1987, a single team comprising the NHL's best players faced the Soviet national ice hockey team in a two-game series.
  - From 1998 through 2002, the teams were divided by player nationality, with a 'North America' team made up of Canadians and Americans and a 'World' team drawn from the rest of the world.
  - In 2006, 2010 and 2014, the league did not hold an all-star game, instead releasing its players to play ice hockey at the Olympic Games. The league held an all-star game in addition to releasing its players for the Olympics in 1998 and 2002.
  - Due to the 2004–05 NHL lockout cancelling the entire season, the All-Star Game was not held in 2005. In 2013, the league did not hold an all-star game as well, as it omitted from the schedule because of the shortened season caused by the player lockout.
  - From 2011 to 2015, a fantasy draft took place that involved the selection of 42 players—six in fan voting, and the other 36 by the league. The selected players then chose two of these individuals as team captains.
  - From 2016 onward, the 'All-Star Game' consists of a mini-tournament where teams representing the league's divisions compete against each other in abbreviated games lasting only 20 minutes (instead of the three 20-minute periods of normal NHL games).
National Football League Pro Bowl
- From 1938 to 1942, the NFL held an all-star game with the winner of that year's NFL Championship Game against an all-star team composed of players from the other teams (and, at least once, teams outside the NFL).
- From 1951 to 2013, the Pro Bowl followed an inter-conference format (Eastern vs. Western from 1951 to 1969 and American Football Conference vs. National Football Conference since the AFL–NFL merger in 1970). The AFC vs NFC format was restored in 2017.
- From 2014 to 2016 it followed a draft format, similar to the 2011–2015 format of the NHL All-Star Game (see above).

Note: In professional American football, the term 'all-star game' can also refer to the American Football League All-Star game, played from 1961 to 1969; or the College All-Star Game, played from 1934 to 1976.

Major League Soccer All-Star Game
- The game has had several formats throughout its history:
  - Originally, the game pitted Eastern Conference and Western Conference all-star teams. This format was used for all games save one from 1996 through 2001, and also in 2004.
  - The 1998 game pitted an 'MLS USA' team, consisting entirely of Americans, against an 'MLS World' team drawn from all other nationalities.
  - The 2002 game matched an MLS all-star team against the US national team.
  - The 2003 game was the first in which an MLS all-star team played a visiting foreign club team. This format was used through the 2019 edition, with the exception of 2004. In the 2003 game, the visiting team was from Mexico; from 2005–2019, the visiting team was based in Europe.
  - The 2020 game will be the first with a new format, involving all-star teams from both MLS and Mexico's top league, Liga MX.
Monster Energy NASCAR All-Star Race (Race winners from previous and current season, as well as Cup champions and All-Star Race winners from the previous 10 seasons)
WNBA All-Star Game (usually Eastern Conference vs. Western Conference)
- In 2004 and 2010, the East-West format was not followed; instead, the USA national team faced a team of WNBA all-stars. The league does not consider these games to be official All-Star Games.
- From 2008 forward, no All-Star Game has been played in any Olympic year.
- Since 2018, the All-Star Game has used a draft format similar to that used by the NHL in the 2011–2015 period. In the WNBA's implementation, fan voting determines the two team captains (though in the first game under the current format, Maya Moore declined the captain's role).

Minor leagues[edit]

Legends Football LeagueAll-Fantasy Game (Eastern vs Western)
Major League Lacrosse All-Star Game (Eastern Conference vs. Western Conference)
National Lacrosse League All-Star Game (East Division vs. West Division)
Major Indoor Soccer League All-Star Game (Format varies)
Women's Professional Soccer All-Star Game
- In the three years of the league's existence, two different formats were used.
  - The first game in 2009, which took place after the season, employed a format similar to that of recent MLS All-Star Games, with a team of WPS all-stars taking on a visiting foreign club team (specifically Umeå IK of Sweden).
  - The 2010 edition took place at midseason. Of the 36 players, 22 were selected through a voting process, and the other 14 were selected by the league. The top vote-getters among U.S. and international players, respectively Abby Wambach and Marta, were named captains. They picked their first 10 teammates from the remaining 20 All-Stars selected through the voting process, with the league then filling out each roster.
  - No All-Star Game was held in 2011, which turned out to be the league's final season, because the season ran up against the Women's World Cup.
- The successor to WPS, the National Women's Soccer League (2013–present), has never held an all-star game.
Triple-A All-Star Game (Baseball; International League vs. Pacific Coast League)
