This post came after the Respect actor announced on The Jennifer Hudson Show in late January that she would be participating in the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game in memory of her brother.
She told at that time, "His birthday was February 17th and he was big on basketball too."
"So that makes me a huge basketball fan and in honor of him I always make a point to celebrate his birthday that way," the 42-year-old star added.
In October 2008, Jason, Jennifer's mother Darnell Donerson, and her 7-year-old nephew Julian King were killed in the Englewood neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side.
Jennifer's former brother-in-law, William Balfour, was found guilty of the murders and is now serving a life sentence in prison.
