This year’s John Ross III Celebrity Charity Basketball Game returned to Long Beach City College Hall Of Champions gym with some of the best athletes, celebrities, and rappers taking the court. John Ross, a Jordan High School Alumni, went on to the University of Washington in 2013 to become one of the best receivers their college has ever seen. Drafted 9th overall by the Cincinnati Bengals in 2017, John has gone to play in the NFL for two seasons now but has not forgotten his home.
This is Ross first time hosting his first-ever Charity Celebrity Basketball game. A change of pace from last year as he hosted a celebrity flag football game. The game was created to help support his foundation the John Ross Foundation. The foundation looks to give back to underprivileged youth in both Long Beach and Cincinnati.
