The McDonald's All American Games spent two years in the city of Atlanta, but for 2020, the Games decided to take its talents to Houston, Texas.

The 2020 McDonald's All American Games will tipoff on April 1, 2020, at the Toyota Center, making this the first time the city of Houston will host the Games.

The state of Texas serves as home to over 120 McDonald's All American players, including Rashard Lewis (1998), Justise Winslow (2014), Nneka Ogwumike (2008) and Brittney Griner (2009), to name a few. The city of Houston, alone, has been home to 21 McDonald's All Americans.

Since 1977, McDonald's All American Games have hosted some of the NBA's most prominent and brightest stars, including Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and LeBron James.

In a recent statement, McDonald's All American Games Selection Committee Co-Chairman Joe Wootten said, "The McDonald's All American Games has a long history of celebrating the top high school basketball players from across the country. We cannot wait to bring this prestigious event to the passionate hoops fanbase in Houston." (Jordan, 2019)

The McDonald's All American Games have always provided an excellent opportunity for players to showcase their ability on the court, and 2019 was no different. With some of the top talent in the country, McDonald's All American Games brings an All-Star feeling to the end of college basketball season.

The boys and girls chosen for the Games leave their mark on the history of basketball, becoming a part of an elite alumni group with some of the greatest basketball players to step foot on a court.
