The 2021 McDonald's All-American Boys Game was an all-star basketball game that was scheduled be held in 2021. The game's rosters featured the best and most highly recruited high school boys graduating in the class of 2021. The game would have been the 44th annual version of the McDonald's All-American Game first played in 1977. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the game was cancelled.[1] The 24 players were selected from over 700 nominees by a committee of basketball experts. They were chosen not only for their on-court skills, but for their performances off the court as well.

Rosters
