Albany native Kevin Huerter can make shots from anywhere on the basketball court. Don't believe us? Check out this viral video of him sinking trick shots.

The story is as old as professional sports. Star athletes make it big one day but never plan for tomorrow. Then bad things happen after they can't play anymore and we hear about them in the media. Donte Greene, who played at Syracuse University during the 2007-08 season before leaving for four seasons in the NBA, has just been added to the list of sports figure tragedies.

Nothing makes me happier than seeing Kevin Huerter succeed in the NBA. The Clifton Park native has found a new home this season with the Sacramento Kings.

Kevin Huerter had an impressive debut on Wednesday with his new team. Huerter was traded in August from Atlanta to Sacramento, and went out with 23 points.

The NBA's Atlanta Hawks have been busy making trades this week. Friday, after adding All-Star guard Dejounte Murray from the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday, Atlanta sent a Capital Region favorite out west in a puzzling move.
