The Ballislife All-American Game is an annual American all-star game featuring high school basketball players. It was founded in 2011 by Ballislife.com to provide a stage for West Coast players who were not selected to other All-American games.[1] At the time, few players from the region were selected for the McDonald's All-American Game in Chicago or the Jordan Brand Classic in New York.[1][2] Over time, the Ballislife game evolved to include top players throughout the nation.[3][4] A girl's game was added in 2023.[5]

A slam dunk contest is also held in conjunction with the game.[4]
