The 2023 McDonald's All-American Boys Game was an all-star basketball game that was played on March 28, 2023, at Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. The game's rosters featured the best and most highly recruited high school boys graduating in the class of 2023. The game was the 46th annual version of the McDonald's All-American Game first played in 1977.[1] The 24 players were selected from over 700 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.
