Life

The 1.98-meter-tall, Chicago- born winger moved from Loyola Academy in Wilmette , Illinois to the College of the Holy Cross , Massachusetts . There he played a total of 114 games until 1995 and scored 2224 points, placing him in second place on the university team's eternal basket hunter list. His best one-game performance was 46 points (February 1994). At the end of November 1994, he hit seven three-point throws in one game. In the 1993/94 season Feaster came to a point average of 28 per encounter and was the second best scorer in the first NCAA division. In his final game year 1994/95 he was with 25 points per game NCAA-wide in ninth place. In 1995 he was named Player of the Year for the Patriot League and was later elected to the League Team of the Decade of the 1990s.

Despite his good performances at the university level he was at the draft process of the NBA  selected by any team in the 1995th The Connecticut Pride team from the US league CBA secured Feasters services, but he was not used there in the 1995/96 season, but was initially in the service of ALGM Lyon in the Liga Nationale 2 in France . After a long break from injury, he moved to the German second division club BCJ Hamburg in January 1996 . For Hamburg, he scored an average of 25 points per game and was one of the undisputed top performers of the Hanseatic League in the 1996/97 season, but missed the Bundesliga promotion he was aiming for with the team. The American, however, made the jump to Germany's top division by moving to Basket Bayreuth for the 1997/98 season. In Bayreuth he got 16.4 points and 6.4 rebounds per encounter.

After a trip to Argentina , where he played briefly at the beginning of the 1998/99 game year, he continued the season with the Rochester Skeeters in the US IBA league. He was named the best substitute ("sixth man") of the IBA season 1998/99. He stayed in his home country for the time being, in the CBA game year 1999/2000 he played two appearances (8 points / game) for the La Crosse Bobcats and twelve during the 2000/01 season (14.8 points / game). In 2002 he moved to Australia , was a top performer of the Perth Wildcats, for which he scored 19.4 points per game in the 2002 spring season and almost repeated this value in the following year with 19.2. In 2003 he was signed by another Australian team, the Victoria Giants. For the Giants, he scored 18.5 points on average.

At the end of December 2004, the American accepted an offer from the French first division club Reims Champagne Basket and hit the mark when he scored an average of 21 points in 19 league games by the end of the season. That meant the second highest value in the league. Also in 2005/06 he was under contract in Reims (34 league games, 15.3 points / encounter). After he had caused a traffic accident in September 2006 and therefore had to answer legally, he was released in Reims. Shortly thereafter, he was equipped with a five-week contract from league rivals Stade Clermontois . This was the last stop of his career as a professional basketball player.
