RECAP: Black Enterprise Celebrates Hoops, Good Food And Team USA In Chicago
Earlier in the day on my last moments in Chicago, we were treated to a truly special occasion: a chance to see Team USA in action! At Quest Multisports Complex on West Harrison Street, we got a chance to see the top NBA stars vie for a chance to play for coaches Mike Krzyzewski and Tom Thibodeau.
Whether it was watching Kyrie Irving and James Harden battle it out, back and forth, or seeing Brooklyn Nets’ own Mason Plumlee contest shots – Team USA looked primed and ready for global competition. When the scrimmage and subsequent practice was over, the media flocked over to get soundbites from the game’s great.
And I took the opportunity to snap this up close and personal shot of former MVP and Simeon High School legend, Derrick Rose.
Watch a snippet of the Team USA scrimmage below:
