The best shot of the weekend didn't come from a heated scrimmage. It didn't dazzle the crowd at the McDonald's All-American Games. It didn't come from a 5-star recruit. It didn't come from top prospect AJ Dybantsa, who jumped over Angel Reese in the dunk contest. Mikel Brown Jr. and Aaliyah Chavez were crowned 3-point champions, but they didn't supply the best make of the weekend, either.

Most of the McDonald's All-American Game experience is about basketball. The competitive scrimmages, the media, the skill competitions, and of course, the game. But the most important part of the weekend for these teenage superstars is the trip to the Ronald McDonald House each year where the athletes spend time with young children dealing with illness.

There's more to Alijah Arenas than just basketball. Like most superstars — at any level — there is always more to the person than just the sport. The Chatsworth High senior put that simply over the weekend in a 1-on-1 interview with High School On SI's Myckena Guerrero ahead of the 2025 McDonald's All-American game in Brooklyn. "I realize there’s more to life than just basketball and what you can really get out of basketball," Arenas said.

Media darling. Influencer. Golden child. Celebrity. Super star. Such titles get bandied about more frequently these days. And the age requirement seems to get younger by the reel. Especially around the athletic arena. The latest in high school sports circles is Aaliyah Chavez, an 18-year-old point guard from West Texas who has either caught or caused the media fever by setting ablaze high school basketball gyms that were never considered hoop hotbeds.

Cameron Boozer is one of the more impressive high school boys basketball players in recent history. The son of former NBA All-Star Cameron Boozer and twin of Cayden, was just named the Morgan Wootten National Player of the Year Sunday at the 2025 McDonald’s All American Games in Brooklyn. He then followed it up with MVP honors for the East Team Tuesday in a 105-92 defeat despite his 16 points and 12 rebounds.

The slam dunk contest always draws the biggest views and elicits the biggest gasps. But Monday's battle of the champions/sexes three-point contest between Mikel Brown Jr. and Aaliyah Chavez was the best thing we watched on ESPN2 Monday night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. High School on SI's Myckena Guerrero watched it live, taped it (see below) and called it "amazing," while ESPN commentators believe it was the highest scoring three-point contest final in the history of the competition.

You can't possibly be considered one of the top 48 high school basketball players in the country if you don't display heart and passion. The best of the best were on display at two McDonald's All-American basketball practices in Brooklyn on Saturday. But even more was perhaps shown during a hearty visit to the Hyde Park House via the Ronald McDonald House Charities in New York Metro.

BROOKLYN, N.Y. — Etiwanda senior Grace Knox is a powerful force on the basketball court. She's strong, she blocks shots, makes sure decisions and grabs hold of most 50-50 opportunities in the low block. That's a big reason she was selected to the 24th McDonald's All-American Game and why LSU coach Kim Mulkey signed her up for the next four seasons. But like her shooting, Knox has a soft touch around kids and also around teammates (see video below).
