The 2009 McDonald's All-American Boys Game was an All-star basketball game played on Wednesday, April 1, 2009, at the BankUnited Center in Coral Gables, Florida, home of the University of Miami Hurricanes. The game's rosters featured the highest rated high school boys graduating in 2009. The game was the 32nd annual version of the McDonald's All-American Game, first played in 1978.
The 48 players were selected from 2,500 nominees by a committee of basketball experts.[1] Coach Morgan Wootten, who had more than 1,200 wins as head basketball coach at DeMatha High School, was chairman of the selection committee. UCLA coach John Wooden, who has been involved in the McDonald's All-American Games since its inception, served as chairman of the Games and as an advisor to the selection committee.
Proceeds from the 2009 McDonald's All American High School Basketball Games went to Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) of South Florida and its Ronald McDonald House program.
The 2009 game was held at the BankUnited Center on the University of Miami’s Coral Gables campus. The game was played on April 1, 2009 and was nationally televised on ESPN.[3]
Prominent contributors to the East's victory included Derrick Favors, who earned the John R. Wooden MVP Award, tallying 19 points and eight rebounds, Dante Taylor, who recorded 15 points and six rebounds, Lance Stephenson, who delivered a performance with 12 points, four rebounds, six assists, and three steals, and Peyton Siva, who facilitated the offense with nine assists.
Conversely, the West Team executed a balanced offensive strategy, with six players reaching double figures in scoring. Keith Gallon of Oklahoma stood out as the primary performer for the West, leading in both points and rebounds with 20 and 7 respectively, followed by Avery Bradley Jr. of Texas, who contributed 15 points and six rebounds. John Henson of North Carolina showcased efficient shooting, shooting 70% from the field for 14 points.
