Former Kansas Jayhawks reunite at annual Rock Chalk Roundball Classic
Yesterday, former Kansas basketball stars came together to compete in the 16th annual Rock Chalk Roundball Classic. While the Crimson Team shined in a 116-101 victory, the highlight of the night was all of these legendary Jayhawks reuniting on the same court.
There were an array of KU stars at the event. Current NBA players like Jalen Wilson, Ochai Agbaji, and Devonte' Graham were present on the court, while Gradey Dick was the head coach of the Blue Team. It also featured appearances from retired players such as Sherron Collins and Brandon Rush and even players of different sports like Aqib Talib.
The Roundball Classic began in 2009 and has become an established charity event in the area to promote money for cancer research. It aims to support local kids who are fighting cancer themselves. All in all, it is a fun event that promotes an amazing cause. Here are some of the best moments from last night.
Former Kansas standout Calvin Thompson even surprised the audience with a proposal to his now-wife Barbara.
