Former NBA star Rasheed Wallace, a Philadelphia native, will be rooting for Chiefs in Super Bowl

Wallace was born and raised in the city of brotherly love, so one might expect him to be a supporter of the Philadelphia Eagles. Instead, Wallace is all in on the Chiefs, who will face the Eagles in Super Bowl LVII. (Kansas City Star)
