BALL IS LIFE


Congrats to BIL alums Michael Snaer, Peyton Siva, Kenny Boynton Jr, Derrick Favors, Lance Stephenson, Renardo Sidney Jr. and the rest of the ballers for getting picked to this HISTORIC EVENT. For inquiring minds, John Wall & Jordan Hamilton were not chosen because the McDonalds All American Selection Criteria does NOT allot for a 5th year player to make the team anymore (in past years, 5th year players have occasionally gotten through [Gerald Green] but not anymore, apparently).


Congrats to Brittany Griner for making the squad, she was the first girl we made a BIL mix of & is the only girl we've seen who can dunk off of vertical, tomahawk, pump, two hands, one hand, off one foot, off two feet...In games. She has a chance to revolutionize the Womens' game.

true true. It's just a messed up situation, but hey, it's still going to be a great game.

Yea man I feel you on the baggage thing with John Wall I think he is a great kid also. Daniel Orton is a great player but he didn't even play this season b/c of knee surgery. I really like Yarou game he should have made the game. It's all politics with McDonald's it's that way every year man.

If John Wall has baggage, then Lance Stephenson has a house on his back.
Justin Walsh Comment by Justin Walsh on February 21, 2009 at 12:05pm
wait what baggage does he have? John Wall is a good kid... My BIG problems with this list is that I can name 2 players to replace the Wear kids without blinking. Mouphtao Yarou and Daniel Orton. Plus, if those kids are 5th year players, then SCREW the 5th year rule, get Jordan Hamilton & John Wall on the team. PERIOD. No argument.

They both reclassify in high school before there senior year. They selection committee looks at John Wall as one of those players with baggage. It's ashame to have him left off. Most of the selection committee doesn't even see half of these players play enough.

and CJ, again, not defending them, merely saying their selection criteria specifically said no 5th year players, so I'm not saying MCD's is right, only saying their reasons Wall & Ham aren't on the roster.

as long as they didnt reclassify during HS, they aren't technically 5th year players according to McDonalds. CJ, I'm not defending McDonalds, you know I hate that Hamilton isn't on. But if it's all politics how in the HELL would they allow John Wall NOT to be on the roster?

This game is all politics they have two 5th year players on this years roster Alex Oriakhi and Dante Taylor our both 5th year guys.

it was def better but I think it dragged a bit too much and it didn't seem like anyone was really into it except for james white. I wish he woulda hit the eastbay from the freethrow. His first freethrow was crazy though, he literally had to duck fro…
