Former NBA Star, Philly Native Rasheed Wallace Rooting for Chiefs

While Rasheed Wallace played for six different teams in his NBA career after playing at North Carolina under legendary coach Dean Smith, some might forget that the four-time All-Star is a Philadelphia native.

Wallace was a dominant player at Simon Gratz High School in Philadelphia, where he received myriad accolades. But when it comes to his NFL allegiances, Wallace’s football team does not reside in the City of Brotherly Love. When Super Bowl LVII takes place between the Chiefs and the Eagles on Feb. 12 in Glendale, Ariz., Wallace will be cheering on Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid and Kansas City to a victory.

Following the Chiefs’ 23–20 win against the Bengals in the AFC Championship game, the 48-year-old posted a video on his Instagram account taking a jab at the Eagles and applauding the Chiefs.
