For famous basketball stars who have spent most of their lives being among the world's best at what they do, a new post-NBA summer home will soon exist: the Champions Basketball League. Champions is still on schedule to begin legaue play in the summer of 2017, and the early word is, things couldn't be going better.
Right now, the first thing fans need to know is... YES, this thing is REAL. And it appears to be developing exactly as planned.
Key updates about the league have been out for a while now: Champions league is coming in July of 2017, the goal is 16 teams in key cities around the United States, using NBA-experienced players who were in the league fairly recently and can therefore still ball at a top level. Games will be on ESPN.
So far, all the players we've heard about are worth watching. These are dudes we all know and care about already.
Earlier this summer, the New York team roster was announced, and it's fantastic: Al Harrington, Kenyon Martin, Shawn Marion, Eddy Curry, Kareem Rush, Daniel Gibson, Tyshawn Taylor, Jamaal Tinsley, Renaldo Balkman, Terrence Williams and Josh Childress.
Recently, InsideHoops.com attended an unannounced Champions Basketball League scrimmage held on the practice court of Brooklyn NY's Barclays Center. The verdict? Players are REALLY excited about this thing.
Corey Maggette, who still somehow looks about 23 years old, was in the building. Jamaal Tinsley was there, having an awesome time, still super fun to watch, dribbling like a wizard and even throwing his bowling-style pass for a beautiful assist. Ricky Davis, who all NBA fans will remember, can still play. Fan favorite Earl Boykins, still standing tall in his own way at 5-foot-5, appeared to be in great shape and was ready to rumble. Ruben Patterson told InsideHoops.com he fully intends to live up to the respect he earned in the past. Also participating were Al Thornton, Jermaine Taylor, Chris Smith and many other quality players. All of them seemed really excited about... everything.
