Tony Going Strong to the Hoop!

Hanging with Tony Gaffney

Nothing like hanging out with the Gaffney family at Jessica and Jamal's wedding (Jess is one of Tony's three beautiful sisters). Tony is heading to Germany to play professionally with Telekom Baskets Bonn. Tony started last season in Turkey with Turk Telekom Ankara and then moved back to the States. He played in NBDL with Utah Flash averaging 10.3ppg, 6.8rpg and 2.3apg in 38 games. Best of luck Tony - the journey continues!
