Ronnie Fields scores his 6,000th career CBA point

[Chuck the Writer]

During tonight's Albany-Minot matchup, Ronnie Fields scored four points in the first quarter. That fourth point was the 6,000th point Fields has scored in his CBA career. Only four other men in the modern era have reached this total. Congratulations to Ronnie Fields for this accomplishment!

Big congrats to Ronnie for this. I'd bet the type of longevity to get this many points is pretty rare in the CBA (or any minor league), so I give him bonus congrats for being in the league this long!

congrats.... I hope he gets another shot in camp...the NBA would be a nice conclusion to the story.

Yeah, congrats to Ronnie! I just wish he'd get to make it to the NBA before his career ends, but he's running out of time.
