The McDonald's All-American game started in 1977, and was initially created for the 'All-American' team to play against a group of high school stars from the Washington, D.C. area. In 1978, the game was taken to what it is today: an East vs. West all-star game with the high school game's best players.

The girls' game began in 2002.

Not too long later, in 1985, the slam dunk contest was introduced. Some of basketball's biggest names participated and won the contest, like Vince Carter, LeBron James, Blake Griffin, Zion Williamson, and even Candace Parker, who became the first female to win it in 2004.

Over the years, the dunk contest, 3-point contest, skills challenge and other competitions would be carried out the night before the game and be called the Jam Fest. The sponsorship was first Powerade and is now the Sprite Jam Fest.

As the 2025 McDonald's All-American game approaches in Brooklyn on April 1, here are the past winners to the Jam Fest festivities. This year's competition is set to air on Monday, March 31 at 7:30 p.m. (ET) on ESPN2.
