Bronny James, Andrej Stojakovic among the four McDonald's All-Americans who have NBA dads

Some very notable names will be represented in the McDonald's All-Americans

The McDonald's All-American game features the best high school basketball players facing off against one another, and is arguably the most prestigious accomplishment at the high school hoops level. 

On Tuesday the rosters for the game were announced, and there were a few names that most people who follow basketball should recognize. As sports fans, we are all getting to, or for some have already gotten to, an age where our favorite player's kid starts to rise through the ranks.

That is the case for four of this year's McDonald's All-Americans, whose fathers each played in the NBA and  are well known in the basketball world. Let's take a look at which of this year's All-Americans have a father who played in the NBA!
