Richard Roby stands in the upper auxiliary gym at the Coors Events Center and precisely counts off the numerous places he has called home over the past eight years.

Israel. Mexico. Venezuela. Argentina. France. Korea. Puerto Rico. Japan.

It's several lifetimes' worth of travel crammed into just eight years of a professional basketball career...and that doesn't include a stop with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers of the D-League.

In Boulder this week to practice with the fellow CU alums that comprise Team Colorado for next week's The Basketball Tournament, a national competition with a $2 million jackpot, Roby is coming off the longest single-team tenure of his nomadic career in Japan.
