The city of Williamsport, Pennsylvania is typically linked to a different sport. Here, Little League Baseball was born, and it’s the site of the annual tournament you can catch on ESPN every summer. However, Indiana Pacers‘ sophomore forward Alize Johnson wants to make Williamsport a basketball town, along with simply making it a better place for kids to grow up in.
Last month, the Alize Johnson Foundation Park opened up in Williamsport, featuring a multi-court basketball complex for the local neighborhoods to enjoy. The opening of the park was a huge event that Alize himself was a major part of, featuring food, games, and a basketball tournament for everyone to enjoy.
