McDonald’s All-American 3-Point Contest and Dunk Contest live updates, highlights from Powerade Jamfest
The week of McDonald’s All-American Game Events is upon us.
One of the marquee moments for high school hoops each year, McDonald’s All-American Week brings together the best prospects for boys and girls under one roof to showcase their talent to a national audience.
It all begins with the Powerade Jamfest on Monday, March 27th, where McDonald’s All-Americans will compete in the Knockout, 3-Point Contest and Slam Dunk Contest.
When the contestants were announced on Monday afternoon, there was a big surprise that Bronny James, LeBron’s son, will be putting his athleticism to the test in the slam dunk contest. Andrej Stojakovic, the son of NBA All-Star Peja, tops the list of snipers for both boys and girls in the 3-point competition.
For live updates, highlights and more from Powerade Jamfest competition, The Sporting News has you covered below.
