Thursday night marked [the 13th annual Rock Chalk Roundball Classic][1] and the event, which raises money each year for families affected by pediatric cancer, was back at Free State High after a one-year hiatus because of the pandemic.
There were still COVID-19 restrictions in place, which kept the gym from being packed full, but for those who could not attend, here is the full broadcast of the game that featured five NBA players and all kinds of 3-point swishes, courtesy of Spectrum Sports.
This year’s game feature the following:
• Four first-time participants
• Five active NBA players
• One recent world champion
• And several members of KU’s 2008 national championship squad and 2018 Final Four team
Below, courtesy of Spectrum Sports, which handled the broadcast, is the game in its entirety and it will live in this blog and on our KUsports.com YouTube channel for the rest of time.
Brian Hanni and his team were again charged with putting on [the memorable night,][2] and Hanni said this broadcast would not have been possible without the support of the following businesses:
[DiPasquale / Moore Injury Attorneys][3]
[Stanley James Smokehouse][4]
[Miller Retirement Group][5]
