Comcast to air Jabari Parker special in January
He's the best prep basketball player in Illinois, and one of the most sought-after college recruits in the country, but there's more to Simeon Career Academy's Jabari Parker.
Coming this January to CN100, The Comcast Network, you'll get to see and hear about Parker the person through interviews with family, coaches, teammates and, of course, Parker. There's also no shortage of Parker highlights to illustrate how, in 2012, he became the first underclassmen to be named Illinois' Mr. Basketball.
As Parker's high school career winds down and he makes plans to attend Duke University, CN100 takes you through the journey that has captivated fans around the world and made him Chicago's “Golden Child.”
