Roosevelt gives back

By: YNN Staff

Roosevelt gives back
Buffalo's own Buffalo Bill, Naaman Roosevelt partnered with the Sports Academy to put on the Summer Basketball Classic at Sweet Home High School.

The event featured a showcase of elite youth talent from 5th through 10th grade.

Then it was the celebrity game with Roosevelt and fellow Bills Marcus Easley, Dwan Edwards and Corey McIntyre.

For Roosevelt, it's a chance to give back to the community where he grew up.

"It's definitely important, just being from there, growing up how the kids now grow up and knowing what they go through," Roosevelt said. "Definitely putting on a event like this is just showing them that me coming from Buffalo, you can do the same thing. It's definitely good."
