VIDEO: Former Pistons star Rasheed Wallace brings truckloads of water to Flint No description found
Former Detroit Pistons star Rasheed Wallace hasn't forgotten about the water crisis in Flint, Michigan.
Wallace, along with some other basketball friends, filled up trucks with water bottles and drove them to Flint.
'Sheed' has been sending help to Flint since the start of the crisis, and ESPN's Rachel Nichols documented some of the efforts underway.
Take a look at the Facebook video below.
It's been a while since Rasheed Wallace played for the Detroit Pistons, but he hasn't forgotten the area, and he hasn't forgotten the people of Flint, Michigan, who still don't have safe drinking water. So Wallace, some of his NBA friends, some of us from ESPN's #TheJump, and a bunch of Sheed's friends and family took a little trip to Flint over this past weekend. What happened next was really cool, and I downloaded some of my Snapchat and Instagram posts into a video:
