Former Kansas guard Mario Chalmers of the NBA’s Memphis Grizzlies posed for pictures with fans who bowled in his ninth-annual Mario V. Chalmers Foundation fundraiser on Saturday afternoon at Royal Crest Lanes, located a few blocks west of KU’s campus.
At the exact same time, 2 to 4 p.m., another highly-accomplished ex-Jayhawk playmaker — overseas sensation Keith Langford — visited with families while distributing free backpacks and school supplies at his local Wingstop Restaurant located a few streets south of Mt. Oread.
“Next year, we’ll have to combine it. We’ll have to figure out how to put a whole weekend together — me, Keith and a couple other guys,” said Chalmers.
