Jennifer Hudson recently took to social media to honor her late brother, Jason Hudson, on what would have been his 45th birthday. Posting on X (formerly known as Twitter), the 42-year-old daytime talk show host shared nostalgic photos of Jason and expressed her heartfelt birthday wishes.
In the post, Jennifer reminisced about Jason's passion for basketball and how she celebrates his birthday during the NBA All-Star weekend to honor him. This year, she announced that she would be playing in the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game as a tribute to her brother.
Tragically, Jason, along with their mother Darnell Donerson and 7-year-old nephew Julian King, were victims of a horrific crime in 2008. Jennifer's former brother-in-law, William Balfour, was convicted of the murders and is currently serving a life sentence in prison.
Jennifer's dedication to honoring her brother's memory was evident as she shared her commitment to the upcoming basketball game. She humorously mentioned seeking advice from professional basketball coach Derek Fisher and starting training early with NBA shooting coach Chris “Lethal Shooter” Matthews.
With determination and a desire to make her brother proud, Jennifer expressed her goal of becoming the MVP of the celebrity game. Her dedication to the sport and her family shines through as she prepares to step onto the court and play in memory of her beloved brother.
Stay tuned for updates on Jennifer's journey to the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game and her efforts to make her brother proud on his heavenly birthday.
