The newly formed Champions Basketball League will begin play next summer and one of our former Orangemen will be playing a prominent role.
In recent years, summertime has become something of a haven for former Syracuse Orange basketball players looking to play professional basketball in the United States.
Two years ago was the first annual The Basketball Tournament, an NCAA-style single-elimination tournament comprised of teams made up of former college stars and overseas professional players.
Boeheim’s Army, the Syracuse alumni team made up of former Orange stars like Eric Devendorf and Hakim Warrick, has given these players the chance to compete for quite the payday ($2 million prize for the winner of this year’s tournament) on American soil.
