James McAdoo(Above) might soon get used to showing off his skills in front of huge crowds.
McAdoo, who has committed to North Carolina, scored 17 points and Michael Gilchrist(Below) added 16 points and 12 rebounds to lead the East to a 111-96 victory over the West in the McDonald's All-American game on Wednesday night at the United Center.
McAdoo and Gilchrist were named co-MVPs in front of the largest crowd -- 20,019 -- of the All-Star game's 34-year history. It surpassed the 2003 game in Cleveland that featured LeBron James.
"Just to come out here and play in front of 20,000 people is just unreal," said McAdoo, whose uncle, Bob, also played at UNC and was a star in the NBA for 14 seasons. "Only 24 guys get this opportunity, there are thousands and thousands kids at home that did not get this chance. It hasn't really hit me yet, but just to get this MVP with Michael is really an honor."
