The All-America Team has celebrated the premier high school basketball talents in the U.S. annually since 2006. Notable past honorees include 2025 NBA All-Stars Jaylen Brown (2015), Jalen Brunson (2015), Cade Cunningham (2020), Anthony Davis (2011), Kevin Durant (2006), Anthony Edwards (2019), Darius Garland (2018), James Harden (2007), Jaren Jackson Jr. (2017), Evan Mobley (2020), Jayson Tatum (2016), Karl-Anthony Towns (2014), and Trae Young (2017).

Selections hinge on team accomplishments, individual performance, and accolades from local, regional, and state levels from the recently concluded season.
