The 35th annual McDonald's High School All-American Game showcased some of the best young basketball talent from high schools around the country, and while the West beat the East by a score of 106-102, it really wasn't about the score. Wednesday night's game in Chicago was a showcase for these prodigious athletes who are looking forward to exciting careers both in college and in the NBA.

The game's MVP and leading scorer was the 2012 Morgan Wooten Player of the Year, Shabazz Muhammad. The 6'6 senior forward from Las Vegas, who came into the 2012 McDonald's All-American game as the No. 2 overall recruit in the country (according to the ESPNU 100 list), finished the game with 21 points and 6 rebounds, recording 15 points and 5 rebounds in the first half alone.
