Jabari Parker featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated
Posted May 16, 2012
Simeon junior Jabari Parker's story -- his dedication to his Mormon faith and his off-the-charts basketball skills -- is a familiar one in Chicago. Now a national audience gets a glimpse into his world. Sports Illustrated's May 21 issue features Parker on the cover and an impressive spread on the inside, with a story proclaiming Parker the "best high school basketball player since LeBron James" whose faith is more important to him than instant NBA stardom.
