McDonald's All American Game

Associate Press

LeBron James was content to simply be a high school All-Star Wednesday night.

Lebron James
Lebron James added seven rebounds and seven assists to go with his 27 points.

The 18-year-old high school senior, an almost-certain No. 1 pick in this summer's NBA draft, scored 27 points in leading the East to a 122-107 victory over the West in the 26th annual McDonald's All-American high school basketball game.

James -- who didn't hit a shot outside 5 feet -- added seven rebounds and seven assists. He received a standing ovation as he received the MVP trophy from former UCLA coach John Wooden.

Many of the record crowd of 18,728 at Gund Arena came from James' hometown of Akron, about 40 miles away. James led St. Vincent-St. Mary's High School to three state championships in his four years -- along the way becoming the only three-time winner of the state's Mr. Basketball award.
