On Tuesday, fans of basketball tuned in to watch 24 of basketball's future stars go at it in the notorious McDonald's All-American Game in Houston, Texas.

The game has long been viewed as the premier high school All-American game, and has had some of the sports best players ever participate with names like Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant, and LeBron James among many others all playing in the game before they embarked on the their next step of their careers post-high school.

Tuesday's game was a tad special for the modern era of basketball fans as notable college and NBA stars such as LeBron James, Peja Stojakovic, Dajuan Wagner, Michael Stewart, and Jeff Sheppard all saw their sons play in this year's event.
