Over the past several weeks the sports world has seen Serge show off his stylish threads, Spicy P catch up with former teammate DeMar DeRozan and McDavid offer home workouts to hockey fans, but Sunday night’s event will offer a completely new and emotional way for fans to reconnect with their favourite athletes. We must say though, these guys have really stepped up their content game during the quarantine period. Just look at Serge!
