McDonald's All-American game: Jereme Richmond gets defensive to help West to win

"It's definitely a relief to play like this," Richmond said. "As much as people try to say there's no pressure, there is pressure playing under the bright lights with the best of the best. It felt good.

"I didn't want to get caught up in the All-Star game style. It's a showcase, and I wanted to show people I can play with four other players that are as good or better than me."
