Ex-NBA Player Lanier To Announce NY Youth Camp
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Former NBA star Bob Lanier is set to announce the kick-off of a basketball training camp for kids in his hometown of Buffalo.
The eight-week camp is called "Game Changers" and is meant to steer 10- to 18-year-olds away from drugs and crime.
Lanier and officials from the city of Buffalo and Drug Enforcement Administration are scheduled to release details on Friday. They say the project is being funded through asset forfeiture money.
Lanier is an eight-time NBA all-star who retired in 1984 after 14 years in the NBA, with Detroit and Milwaukee.
