Hall of Famer Alonzo Mourning and wheelchair basketball star and CUNY student-athlete Chris Saint-Remy battled it out in an impressive display of basketball shooting skills at the Guardian Life H-O-R-S-E game during half-time of the Nov. 21 Georgetown-Texas game.

This competition, sponsored by Guardian Life, was one of the highlights of the 2K Empire Classic Tourney held at Madison Square Garden Nov. 21-22, which benefits the Wounded Warrior Project. Guardian Life was a proud sponsor of the 2K Empire Classic and as part of their Equal & Able Partnership with former disability insurance client Dr. Feranmi Okanlami, they organized the half-time exhibition to show everyone that disability does not mean inability.

Mourning, who is a graduate of Georgetown University, and Saint-Remy, who is a top recruit for the CUNY Inclusive Sports Basketball team, used impressive outside shooting and trick shot skills during the competition. In the end, Chris won in a close and hard-fought shooting exhibition that inspired hoop fans at the sold-out Madison Square Garden.
