Hey McDonald’s All American fans,
Alonzo Mourning here again following up on my “Zo’s Top 33″ list I wrote about yesterday.
It’s crazy to think that I was a McDonald’s All American in 1988. Looking back, I’m so glad that I had that experience. It helped me realize that doing well off the court and giving back to my community was just as good a measure of a person as what you do on the court.
My Top 33 McDonald’s All Americans combine athletic prowess, team and community leadership, and have a vested interest in giving back.
For now, I’m listing players 33 through 6 (in alphabetical order) on my all time McDonald’s All American list and will follow up with a post next week with my top five picks. See below for a list and click on the link to see a bio of each player.

I saw you play at an AAU tournament in Jacksonville, FL, where you had 20 blocks and snatched a guy’s three-pointer — by a kid who was going to Louisville — out of the air. With both hands. I think you had just finished your junior year in high school. I believe that was the most amazing shot block I’ve ever seen. What do you think was the best block you ever made?
Are you kidding me? You picked yourself? I guess you didn’t hold that Toronto Raptors blackmail against you. You can’t clean David Robinson’s shoes.
