Kenny Smith helps refurbish courts in Chicago, still confident Rose, Bulls can succeed

Kenny Smith has a lot going on these days between the NBA Finals and his duties on TNT’s Inside the NBA.

Despite his busy schedule, he made time Tuesday for a quick trip to Columbus Park in Chicago to present a $40,000 check to the Metropolitan Board of the Chicago Urban League to refurbish Illinois basketball courts as part of Coors Light’s Full Court reFRESH project. He also held a panel discussion with local basketball legends Dee Brown and Ronnie Fields, Chicago journalist Bryan Crawford and rapper 2 Chainz.

Before the Jet jetted out of Chicago, he took a few minutes to talk with The Athletic about the basketball court project, the Chicago Bulls and more.
