  Calbert Cheaney - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Calbert Nathaniel Cheaney (born July 17, 1971 in Evansville, Indiana) is a veteran basketball player in the NBA currently playing for the Golden State Warriors.
Cheaney was a high school stand-out, but few would have predicted he would capture the Naismith Award.
Cheaney was both a shooting guard and a small forward at Indiana University where his offensive game and defensive prowess helped him lead one of the most exciting Hoosier teams ever.

Calbert Nathaniel Cheaney was born on the seventeenth of July, in 1971.
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.
Cheaney had a bit of a down year in 1992, which, ironically, was the year the Hoosiers went to the Final Four, after beating UCLA 106-79 one round earlier.
