Along with LeBron James and his other teammates on the Los Angeles Lakers, Kansas basketball alum Markieff Morris helped win an NBA Finals.
Kansas basketball’s influence in the NBA is substantial, and now another Jayhawk has won an NBA Finals. Markieff Morris is the first Kansas player since 2016 to win a ring as a player, and interestingly, Jayhawks seem to win titles whenever LeBron does.
