The American Family Insurance ALL-USA program has been honoring the best high school athletes for decades. With the 2016 boys basketball team, the ALL-USA team reaches six teams in this decade so we thought it might be interesting to look at which state has had the most selections. Players are listed in the state where they went to school and players who were selected multiple times count more than once.
Here are the top five states:
