1990 game

The game was telecast live for the last time by ABC. In 1991 CBS became the telecaster. The rosters were characterized by promising centers, especially three taller than 7 ft: Eric Montross, Luther Wright and Shawn Bradley; [1] Bradley, with his 7-6 frame, was the tallest player to ever appear in the McDonald's game up to that point. Other highly regarded prospects were forwards Grant Hill and Ed O'Bannon and guards Khalid Reeves and Derrick Phelps (who were teammates at Christ the King). Bradley and Reeves were named co-MVPs: Bradley had 12 points, 10 rebounds and 6 blocks, confirming his ability as a shot-blocker; Reeves scored 22 points and recorded 10 steals, the highest of the history of McDonald's All-American Games (a record which still stands as of 2018). Other players who starred were Adrian Autry (8 points and 11 assists), Eric Montross, Clifford Rozier, Anthony Cade, Grant Hill and Ed O'Bannon. [2] [3] [4] Of the 20 players, 13 went on to play at least 1 game in the NBA.
