Rodell Rosel is an accomplished tenor who has been singing opera in Chicago and around the country for more than two decades. He sat down with CBS News Chicago to talk about his life and work.

Jalen Williams played a key role in the OKC Thunder's championship run last season despite dealing with a wrist injury.

But that wasn't the only topic that dominated the airwaves in the aftermath. In the morning of Game 7, Kevin Durant was traded to the Houston Rockets in a historic seven-team deal. After three disappointing seasons with the Phoenix Suns, the 36-year-old has one last chance to chase a title.

Thunder fans woke up to some excellent news this morning when it was reported that the OKC front office and center Chet Holmgren, an integral piece of the team's NBA title run, had agreed to a five-year maximum rookie contract extension to keep the 23-year-old locked up in Oklahoma City for the foreseeable future.
