1999 game

The game was telecast live by ESPN. During the halftime break, the jersey number 23 was retired in honor of Michael Jordan. Casey Jacobsen was the last player to wear 23 during a McDonald's All-American Game. The 1999 game saw several records: it was the highest scoring game in the event history, and Jonathan Bender broke Jordan's record of 30 points by scoring 31, 18 of which in the first half. Bender also had 10 rebounds, recording a double-double. Other players that starred were Carlos Boozer and Casey Jacobsen, who scored 22 points each; Jason Williams, who scored 20 points; DerMarr Johnson, who scored 19; and Marvin Stone, who recorded 13 points and 10 rebounds. [1] [2] Of the 21 players, 15 went on to play at least 1 game in the NBA. The dominant performance convinced Bender to skip college, despite having committed to play for Mississippi State, and declare for the 1999 NBA draft: he was drafted out of high school with the 5th overall pick.
