After retiring as a Chicago Public School teacher, Elston Harris coordinated and championed a basketball mentoring program on Chicago’s South Side. This program, known as the Weekend Warriors, is one of the city’s hidden gems, which unites men and boys of all ages and socioeconomic backgrounds. It's become so successful that it regularly attracts support from NBA legends and current players, Hollywood celebrities, and local personalities. However, the driving force behind Weekend Warriors nearly came to a halt when Harris suffered a heart attack at the end of the final game of the day, right on the court. Fortunately, Chicago Police Officer Binyamin Jones was also on the court and prepared to save the day. Jones administered chest compressions continuously for approximately 10 minutes until an EMS team arrived and transported Harris to Advocate Trinity Hospital, where he received heart stent surgery and landed under the care of Advocate Trinity Cardiologist Dr. Marlon Everett. Today, Harris, Jones and Dr. Everett maintain a special bond.
