Mcdonald's All American

Mcdonald's All American - Jereme Richmond didn't win the slam dunk competition, but in typical Richmond fashion, he managed to have a say in who did.

Richmond scored 124 points (out of a possible 140) in the first round but was one point shy of making the final round of the McDonald's All-American game's slam dunk competition Monday night at Ohio State's Value City Arena.

The event was won by Richmond's friend Josh Selby, a 6-foot-3 guard from Baltimore Lake Clifton.

"Jereme Richmond told me my first dunk had to be my best dunk," Selby said.

Richmond went with the competition's most common dunk. He threw the ball up and off the ground in both attempts, catching it with one hand for a tomahawk jam and a score of 64 on his first try.

"It's all in fun," Richmond said. "Win or lose, doesn't matter. I was glad for Josh, though. I met him through AAU, and we've been friends for a while. He's a guy I can relate to off the court. I support him and he supports me."

Selby was the only dunker to score a perfect 70, and he added a 61 on his last attempt of the final to beat Ray McCallum of Detroit Country Day by three points. Neither guard has decided on a college.

Tar Heel steals: Coming off of a disastrous season in which it finished a game out of last place in the ACC, North Carolina has three McDonald's All-Americans with which to rebuild quickly -- the most of any school to this point.
