I’m Alonzo Mourning, 1988 McDonald’s All American Games MVP and captain of the McDonald’s All American Advisory Council.
If you haven’t yet heard of the Advisory Council, our role is to help shape the future of this event while inspiring the top players of tomorrow to give back to their communities.
If you want to learn more about the Advisory Council and other members such as Greg Oden and Candace Parker, visit mcdonaldsallamerican.com.
Now for the fun part. McDonald’s recently asked me to name the top McDonald’s All American Games players of all time. This has never been done before!
I gladly agreed, but in the spirit of the Games, I plan to rank the top 33 players based on this very simple but important criteria:
- A former McDonald’s All American
- Exceptional performance and conduct on the court
- Exceptional performance and conduct off the court
It’s critical that we take into account a player’s athleticism, stats and overall game. But it’s equally as important we take into account all the good these players do for their communities. After all, giving back is what the McDonald’s All American Games is all about.
Stay tuned tomorrow right here when I’ll unveil the first 28 players on what I’m calling “Zo’s Top 33.” I encourage you to send along your recommendations!
Until next time,
Zo
