1st Annual Knox Indy Pro Am Challenge tonight; NBA stars on tap

   With the Summer almost over, now is the time where NBA players are getting ready to get into shape and head back to training camp in a few weeks. However, the people in Dayton and the Miami Valley will get to see the last BIG NBA Showcase today (6pm @ Trent Arena, Fairmont High School).

   
    Carlos Knox, one of the legends of Dayton and Indiana basketball (Meadowdale HS, IUPUI) will be bringing his Knox Indy Pro Am on the road back to his hometown, as the best of Indianapolis will battle the best of the DYT in this Sunday Showdown.
 
     The Indy players will feature starting Pacers PG George Hill, reserve G Lance Stephenson (former Cincy Bearcat) and Starting PG for the Champion Miami Heat Mario Chalmers. The Dayton NBA players will be Miami Heat G Norris Cole, Oklahoma City Thunder G Daequan Cook, and Toronto Raptors F and former UD Flyer Chris "Flight" Wright.

    There will be one surprise player, as legend Dwight Anderson (all 50+ years of him) will be battling on the court with the Dayton squad as well. Just the fact that he can still play (and yeah he can STILL BALL with the best of em) out there is a testament to his skills.

    Knox, who has the best summer league in Indy, has been quoted as being "blessed and excited" to bring this opportunity to Dayton. The buzz has been tremendous, the event should be sold-out and he is looking forward to the atmosphere and show.

This is definitely SOMETHING YOU DONT WANT TO MISS.
