The 2005 McDonald's All-American Boys Game was an All-star basketball game played on Wednesday, March 30, 2005 at the Joyce Center in South Bend, Indiana, home of the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. The game's rosters featured the best and most highly recruited high school boys graduating in 2005. The game was the 28th annual version of the McDonald's All-American Game first played in 1978.

Contents

The 48 players were selected from 2,500 nominees by a committee of basketball experts. They were chosen not only for their on-court skills, but for their performances off the court as well. Coach Morgan Wootten, who had more than 1,200 wins as head basketball coach at DeMatha High School, was chairman of the selection committee. Legendary 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 2005 McDonald's All American High School Basketball Games went to Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) of South Bend and Fort Wayne, Indiana and their Ronald McDonald House programs.

2005 Game

The game was telecast live by ESPN. At first glance, the 2005 edition of the McDonald's All American boys team seemed to lack the "star power" of the 2003 and 2004 squads as they invaded Notre Dame's Joyce Center in March 2005. That perception was soon put to rest as seven players were taken in the 2005 NBA Draft.

Unlike most all-star events, the 2005 McDonald's Game was a close contest that brought much excitement to the Joyce Center. The East held a hefty lead most of the game and ended the first half with a 22-point lead thanks to high flying Gerald Green (former Dallas Maverick), who led all scorers with 24 points on 8-of-12 shooting. Greg Paulus had nine assists and 13 points, making 7-of-8 free throws in the final 2 minutes to help the East hang onto the 115-110 victory.

Other key contributors for the East included, shooting guards Louis Williams and Eric Devendorf (Syracuse), who recorded 14 and 13 points respectively.

The West team had several players who helped lead the charge from their 22-point deficit. Mario Chalmers (Miami Heat) led the West with a team high 20 points, five steals and five assists. Martell Webster (Portland Trail Blazers) started the game with two consecutive three-point baskets on his way to 16 points for the contest. Small forward Julian Wright (New Orleans Hornets) had a solid performance with 14 points, four assists and three rebounds.
