Joseph Charles “Joe” Trapani (born July 1, 1988) is an American-Italian basketball player for ICL Manresa of Spain’s Liga ACB. He played college basketball for Vermont and Boston College.

College career

Trapani played at Daniel Hand High School in Madison, Connecticut and initially chose to play college basketball at the University of Vermont after bigger-named schools such as Virginia and Boston College wanted him to spend a year in prep school. He averaged 11.4 points and 4.4 rebounds per game and was named to the America East Conference All-Rookie team in 2007. In the offseason, Trapani decided that he wanted to play at a higher level of competition and transferred to Boston College of the Atlantic Coast Conference. Trapani was a three-year starter for the Eagles, earning third-team All-ACC honors as a junior in 2009–10 and as a senior in 2010–11.

Professional career

Following the close of his college career, Trapani was not drafted in the 2011 NBA draft and the 2011 lockout prevented him attending an NBA training camp. He signed with A.S. Junior Casale of Italy’s Lega Basket Serie A, but left the club early in the season due to contract issues, moving to Fulgor Libertas Forlì and then closing the 2011–12 season with the Maine Red Claws of the NBA Development League. After stints with Medi Bayreuth in Germany and Spirou Charleroi in Belgium, Trapani signed with SPO Rouen Basket of France’s top division for the 2014–15 season. He averaged 10.2 points and 7.5 rebounds for the club before being lost for the season with a shoulder injury in March 2015.

On September 14, 2015, Trapani signed with Cholet Basket for the 2015–16 season.

Trapani signed with ICL Manresa of Spain’s Liga ACB on August 7, 2016.

John Smoltz’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

John Smoltz Net Worth: John Smoltz is an American former Major League Baseball pitcher and active sportscaster who has a net worth of $60 million. John Smoltz was born May 15, 1967 in Warren, Michigan. He is best known for his prolific career of more than two decades with the Atlanta Braves, in which he racked up eight All-Star selections and received the Cy Young Award in 1996. Though mostly known as a starting pitcher, Smoltz was converted to a reliever in 2001 during his recovery from Tommy John surgery (a surgery common to athletes in which the ulnar collateral ligament in the medial elbow is replaced with a tendon from elsewhere in the body). Smoltz then spent four years as the team’s closer before returning to a starting role. In 2002, he became only the second pitcher in history to have had both a 20-win season and a 50-save season (the other being Hall of Famer Dennis Eckersley). He is the only pitcher in major league history to top both 200 wins and 150 saves. He became the 16th member of the 3,000 strikeout club on April 22, 2008 when he fanned Felipe Lopez of the Washington Nationals in the third inning in Atlanta. Smoltz threw a four-seam fastball that was clocked at 98 mph and an 88–91 mph split-finger fastball that he used as a strikeout pitch. He also mixed in a curveball and change-up on occasion. In 1999, he experimented with both a knuckleball and a screwball, though he rarely used either in game situations. He is also an avid golfer who has played with the likes of Tiger Woods and Annika Sorenstam. In 2010, Smoltz joined TBS and MLB Networks as a baseball analyst. He has also joined FOX Sports South and SportSouth to be an analyst for select Atlanta Braves games during the 2014 season.
