ALLENTOWN, Pa. — Allentown honored one of their legends on Saturday.
Jerry Christian wasn’t just a household name for his accomplishments on the basketball court — but also for the lives he helped shape.
Christian played on the Allentown Jets for nine season.
That experience inspired him to mentor younger players at the Cumberland Gardens Community Center.
He didn’t just teach them about basketball though — he taught them how to navigate life.
The 500 Block of Hickory Street in Allentown is now, officially, Jerry Christian Way.
