    Just a couple weeks ago Tony Bennett scored 59 points in a game in the Chicago pro-am league...

      Yah... great game for sure... but most of these summer leagues are just jacking up 3's and not playing any defense right? I mean, he may have "kicked Detroit Pistons' guard Will Bynum's a**" but Bynum scored 51 himself so either they are playing 4- 20 mins quarters, or very litty defense is being played... 59 and 51 point are impressive none the less...

        but just reporting the news....

                Great for Eddie to keep his career going. I wonder how much longer he'll play... If my memory is correct, he should be 32 or 33 by now...
                Don't putt until the cup stops movin'

                  Good guess. Eddie Cage's birthday is Nov. 7, 1978, so he'll be 32 in a few weeks. He redshirted one year because of injury, so he was at Bradley for 5 seasons- from 1996-1997 through 2000-2001. This will be Eddie's 10th season playing professionally in Europe in Germany, England, and Spain..

                              From what I hear, Chris had an offer to try out for the Harlem Globetrotters, but chose not to. There is a tremendous amount of travel invloved, and the pay is minimal.
