1993 game

The game was telecast live by CBS. Rashard Griffith was selected as a McDonald's All-American but did not play in the game because of the NCAA limit of 2 all-star games: having already played in the Roundball Classic and the Illinois-US All-Stars game, he was unable to participate in the McDonald's event.[1] The Mid-South Coliseum was sold out for the event: the top prospects of the teams were big men Rasheed Wallace and Darnell Robinson. The MVP title was awarded to two players, Jacque Vaughn for the West team and Jerry Stackhouse for the East. Vaughn was noted for his pass-first style of play and broke the assist record with 13 (the record still stands as of 2018); on the other hand, Stackhouse shown his finishing ability and scored 27 points, becoming the game's top scorer. Other players who starred were Darnell Robinson (19 points/10 rebounds), Charles O'Bannon (19 points), Jerald Honeycutt (14), Keith Booth (15) and Dontonio Wingfield who also recorded a double-double with 13 points and 13 rebounds. Rasheed Wallace fouled out after scoring 9 points.[2][3][4] Of the 22 players, 10 went on to play at least 1 game in the NBA.
