New Orleans Pelicans guard Rajon Rondo went back to his hometown of Louisville during the All-Star break to give back to his community.

“I was happy to put a smile on kids' faces,” Rondo told Kentucky Sports Radio.

Rondo treated 320 students from Central High School to two free screenings of "Black Panther" as he covered the price of the ticket along with drinks and popcorn.

His only ask in return was for students to write an essay for Black History Month.
