On Wednesday night, NBC Sports Chicago hosted the “Be Chicago: Together We Can” fundraiser, organized to benefit the community COVID-19 response fund and show gratitude to those working on the front lines to keep us all safe.
On the eve of the occasion, three Chicago basketball legends — Isiah Thomas, Kendall Gill and Jabari Parker — celebrated the cause by reminiscing on their days growing up in Chicago playing basketball, and what the city’s storied history means to them.
“The first thing that comes to mind is just the brotherhood that we all have and we all share, no matter where we are there is a certain connection of love that we all give each other in terms of looking out and being responsible to each other,” Thomas said.
