BROOKLYN, N.Y. – Activities for the 2025 McDonald's All American Game officially kicked off on Saturday. Both the East and West had their first practice in the Brooklyn Nets sparkling training facility. While the backdrop of Manhattan's skyline was breathtaking, the play was even better as each team completed pretty spirited workouts.
If the way the country's top two point guards Darius Acuff Jr. of the East and Mikel Brown Jr. of the West operated is any indication of what to expect, they will be setting the tone for the next three days and hopefully setting up a competitive game.
Here's a quick review of five day one standouts from each team.
