Competitive Boeheim brothers Jimmy and Buddy prepare for college basketball season

Utica, N.Y. - The Boeheim brothers made their 2018 summer debut in the King of Kings Pro-Am Basketball League Monday night. Their dad, Jim, watched from the bleachers.

Jimmy Boeheim, who will be a sophomore at Cornell in the fall, and Buddy Boeheim, who will be a freshman at Syracuse University, are on a summer squad called Team Eannace that also features former St. Bonaventure forward Denzel Gregg, who is home in Syracuse this summer and working out at the Melo Center after playing in Europe.

The Boeheims say they enjoy these summer sessions, where they can play on the same team without much pressure to perform.
