Calbert Nathaniel Cheaney was born on the seventeenth of July, in
1971. He signed a one-year deal with the Utah Jazz last off-season,
and by doing that he has added another chapter to a remarkable
career, filled with ups and down. His college career was
spectacularly, but his NBA
career has been disappointing. Although he played spectacular in the
arenas of all the college teams, this Hoosier never felt comfortable
on the courts of the NBA.
Even before Cheaney joined the University of Indiana he was seen as
a prospect, and not only in basketball. Calbert Cheaney was the
Indiana State High School champion in 300 and 110 meter hurdles, but
he also played basketball very well, as his number, 40, is the only
number retired by his high school, the Evansville Harrison High
School. He still wears 40 today, which is quite typical, since a lot
of players keep the same number for most of their career. Some
players pick their number with a reason, but Cheaney didn’t. "They
went through all the numbers and 40 was one of the few left when I
got my pick."

Assist Leaders Have What Jackson Wants -- NBA Titles
1/08
The coolest thing about reaching 10,000 career assists, as Mark
Jackson probably will tonight, is the company you get to keep.
Only John Stockton and Magic Johnson have reached five-digit
territory ahead of Jackson. And the Jazz guard's name is on a
short list with legends Oscar Robertson, Isiah Thomas and Bob
Cousy, the game's greatest point guards. |
Fizer Comes Off Bench,
Gives Bulls a Huge Lift
1/07
It wasn't a trade, a call-up or a free-agent signing, but the
Bulls somehow managed to add a confident, talented
16-point-per-game scorer to their roster since their 20-point
loss to Utah in November. |
'Baby' Bulls get tough to end Jazz win streak
1/07
For a while there, it seemed like the
Jazz had grown quite accustomed to this whole winning thing.
Four victories in a row. Seven in their previous eight games.
Happy days.
Until Monday night.
Utah's string of recent successes came to a screeching
halt in Chicago, where a baby version of the Bulls your father
once knew romped to a 113-98 victory over the now 19-14 Jazz.

Jazz will keep Massenburg for season, O'Connor says
1/07
The Jazz have decided to guarantee the
remainder of reserve big man Tony Massenburg's contract for this
season, basketball operations vice president Kevin O'Connor said
Tuesday.
"We're gonna keep Tony," O'Connor said.
Massenburg has a one-year, non-guaranteed pro-rated $1.03
million veteran's minimum contract that automatically is
guaranteed if he is still on the roster as of Friday. |
Youthful Bulls Use Decisive 3rd-quarter
1/07
That old knock on the NBA, that you only have to watch the final
two minutes to see a game decided? With the Jazz, it seems you
can arrive late and leave early, because only the third quarter
matters. |
