North Carolina's 2024 McDonald's All-American Game nominees
The McDonald's All-American Game announced its 2024 nominees Tuesday. The event is schedule to be played on April 2 in Houston's Toyota Center at 5:30 p.m.
The prestigious event has included some of basketball's biggest names from Kobe Bryant and LeBron James to Candace Parker and Juju Watkins.
