15 March 2010 - Addai and Parker join Rio Claro in Brazil

Getting a chance is what most players are looking for.  After several attempts Jeffery Addai and Andrew Parker  found themselves referred to B3 through mutual friends in the basketball world.  All they were looking for was an opportunity to prove themselves.  That is exactly what they now have as the suit up for Rio Claro in Brazil for the summer session in hopes to qualify their team to the Paulista league.  Basketball Beyond Border in conjunction with our Brazilian partners A$$K Sports Business wishes good luck to both!

26 Feb 2010 - Hinson back to Puerto Rico

After being drafted as the first overall choice in the BSN league in Puerto Rico in 2008, Darnell will return there this summer spring with a new team Gallitos de Isabella.  Loaded with backcourt talent already the coach opted to have Darnell on his squad rather than to trade him and have to face him at a later date.  Because Darnell is so versitile he will see minutes at both guard sports and is sure to excel at both!  Good luck D!

22 Feb 2010 - Jarvis moves to Iceland

Starting the year in Poland did not go at all according to plan because of the terrible team situation in Poland.  Robert was happy to leave and he will find himself at the helm of Icelandic team IR.  On the cusp of the playoffs IR needs somebody to come in and take control.  Exactly the role that Robert relishes.  He will propel them to playoffs and who knows how far!?

20 Feb 2010 - Snoop Jones back to Holland

After a very strong showing with Keravnos from Cyprus in the Eurochallenge, a late season coaching change there has facilitated a move back to Holland for Sam.  He will suit up for Leeuwarden as a great vet presence to finish out what could be their best season in years.  With an acquisition like this that will only make things better!

16 Feb 2010 - Parker bolsters Oberwart

After two great seasons in ProA Germany Kelvin Parker is going to move into the Austrian League with the Oberwart Gunners.  They are in a position where his vision and leadership can help them turn the corner and push far into the playoff picture.  We wish him luck.

5 Feb 2010 - Wilson returns to Spain

Last season Marcus Wilson took his Tarragona team right to the finals of LEB Silver in Spain and then upwards to LEB Gold in the promotion.  Many teams were interested in his services but now he heads back to Spain to join up with Rosalia, where hopefully, history repeats itself!

31 Jan 2010 - Bouldin off to Girona

After winning MVP of LEB Bronze in Spain last season and carrying his team upstairs to promotion, it took a while for Dreike to ge the call but finally Girona in LEB Gold has called.  Dreike, an outstanding outside/inside player is exactly what Girona is looking for after a string of defeats.  We are looking for Dreike to stop that slide!

23 Jan 2010 - Klotz to Japan

Out with the old and in with the new is sometimes the best thing that can happen...and Jason Klotz will be the new lead center in Ossaka Evessa.  He is a steady performer and he will have to be as Evessa currently is in the playoff hunt and he will need to really bring his A game to keep them competitive.  We wish him the best of luck. 

15 Jan 2010 - Martin reunited at ULM Germany

After a bit of bouncing around Kevin Martin finds himself in the top league in Germany with ULM.  There he is reunited with his running mate from last season Christian Burns to again form a formidable front line.  Needing to ensure a solid inside presence and better rebounding Kevin was just the player Coach Mike Taylor was after.

16 Dec 2009 - Arigbon goes to Europe

After meeting several B3 clients world wide Bayo Arigbon felt his next best step was joining forces with B3.  After quick introductions Bayo found himself signed to National League team Lev Hasharon in Israel.  Currently not in playoff position the team hopes Bayo can turn them around, we are sure he can!

21 Nov 2009 - Chalres Gaines to China

As one of the premiere power forwards in Europe, Charles Gaines has made the decision to assert his dominance on another continent by signing to play this season in China.  The Chinese league has been growing exponentially in the last 4 years and it sees itself littered with NBA talent.  In this regard Charles fits right in as he will suit up for last season's runner's up the Xinjlang Gyang Hui Flying Tigers.

20 Nov 2009 - Barlow moves to Hungary

Eddy Barlow is a fantastic PG and now he will get a change to show that in the Premiere League in Hungary.  Salgotarjani has started the season with a tough 1-12 result and have brought in Eddy to basically play Superman and start turning their fortunes around.  We expect Eddy to have immediate impact for this team and the results will definitely show!

19 Nov 2009 - Doyne takes court again in Hungary

After a fantastic rookie season in Hungary that saw him capture the championship, Bam Doyne fell on hard times with an injury last season in Hungary.  In the world of sport the "what have you done lately" mindset has caused many to doubt his ability.  Bam will embrace his new team NYKK and show all the nay- sayers and his Hungarian all star season of two years ago was no accident.  We expect big things from Bam again!

17 Nov 2009 - Martin moves from Asia back to Europe

After starting out the season in Korea with the Orions, Kevin Martin will touch down in Hungary for the defending champions Atomeromu.  A puzzling brand of basketball can only be labeled for Kevin's time in Asia but he is happy to make his presence felt on a team so far undefeated in Hungarian League play.  Another championship is within their grasp and Kevin can be the player to secure that outcome.

16 Nov 2009 - Villepigue moves over to Hungary

After waiting for a call Dustin Villepigue finally will accept a tryout opportunity with Dombovar in Hungary.  A season down in Mexico has moved him back to Europe and he will suit up for them for the next two weeks as he lets his game do the talking.  Good luck Dustin.

14 Nov 2009 - Desean breaks into the Asian market

After many seasons of European play, Desean Hadley will take his game into Saudi Arabia where he will light up the middle east and hopefully bring a championship to Al Naser.  We wish him the best of luck as he embarks on a totally new market.

10 Nov 2009 - Jermaine Green signs in Japan

After bouncing around in Europe for the past few seasons, Green will take his multi dimensional game to the far east where he will suit up for Hamamatsu in the Japanese BJ League.  The team is already sitting comfortably in first place but they have their eye on the only possible goal for them this season,...the championship.  With Jermaine on board it should be a 'slam dunk'.   Fitting day to land a contract....on his birthday!

27 Oct 2009 - Brown back to Israel

A season which showed Rob's complete game in the Iran Superleague cause a few teams in Israel to search him out again in the early part of this season.  Hapoel Haifa of the National League has every intention to return to the Premiere League in Israel and they know that Rob is the player that can take them upstairs.

15 Oct 2009 - Jeffers returns to Germany

After quite a few seasons in Spain, Maurice Jeffers made the jump to Germany last season and returns there again this season to suit up for Geissen.  As a former NBA Drafted player Jeffers has great pedigree and is a new addition to the Basketball Beyond Borders family.  We see another great partnership in the making!

12 Oct 2009 - Johnson stays in Spain

Two seasons in Spain makes Rob Johnson a well known commdity for his terrific rebounding and great interior play.  This season he will try and duplicate his feat from last season when he took Cornella up to LEB Gold.  Next on his list is to promote his new team Tijloa to the promised land upstairs in LEB Gold.

7 Oct 2009 - Mortellaro off to Japan

Thus far in his career Chris has seen himself as a steady fixture in western Europe.  This season all that changes.  After being heavily scouted over the internet he has found his way to the BJ League in Japan where he will suit up for Hamamatsu Phoenix along with fellow B3 teamate William Knight.  We want to wish Chris all the best in his new stomping grounds.

1 Sept 2009 - Nealy signs in Portugal

If  you are looking for a prolific scorer and just your basic 'do it all player', Rod Nealy is that guy.  Season after season of fantastic stats and great success speak volumes about this player.  This season he has been signed by Vitoria of the top league in Portugal to help deliver a championship.  They picked the right man for the job!  Good luck Rod!

1 Sept 2009 - Beckles to Asia

After several years producing in western Europe Kwbana Beckles is destined for a change when he touches down in Japan with the Saitama Broncos.  The coach there recognized Kwbana's great blend of inside/outside ability and this season Kwbana is a Bronco.

31 August 2009 - Klotz moves south

After a fantastic senior season a couple years back out of Texas, Jason has not found himself on the top tier of basketball as we feel he should be at this time.  So after joining up with B3 this season he will begin his 'comeback' season in the tough league in Uruguay.  We wish him the best of luck.

1 August 2009 - Knight lands in Japan

After several great stops in a solid career William Knight has landed in Japan with last year's BJ league finalists Hamamatsu.  The culture will be different but basketball is the same all over and that is something Will knows.  Expect to see big things from him this season as he drives towards a championship.

24 July 2009 - Martin to Asia

After spending some time in Europe and last season being the driving force between league powerhouse Porto in Portugal, Kevin Martin was invited to attend the South Korean draft camp.  The coaches there saw what everybody saw in Portugal.  A dominant low post presence.  Kevin was drafted in the second round and will now suit up for the Orions in the S. Korean league.

20 July 2009 - Jarvis takes his first step

A rookie coming out of school is always a risk, but not this guy.  Robert Jarvis has been tagged by Sportinio of the top league in Poland to be their starting PG and do what he did at college....win!  We expect to see big things from this player during the season and watch for his career to take off!

15 July 2009 - Johnson returns to Monthay

After being the runner up MVP in the league of Switzerland, Kareem will return to his Swiss side and this time look for one more award....the championship.  With much of the team remaining intact, they have just the team to do it!

1 July 2009 - English defends his title

After joining his Hungarian team in mid season, Mike made his presence felt strongly by steering his team to the Championship.  Now he returns to his squad to do what few players get the opportunity to do....repeat.  This season he will try to go 2-2 as he pushes his team Atomeromu to another title.

22 June 2009 - Jones moves over

Sam Jones value to a team can only be understood by his teammates.  He constantly causes players to rise to their highest level and perform while he runs the team.  This season Sam was snapped up by Keravnos to help steady their point guard duties and Sam is up for the challenge.  Upon his return from the Euro Qualifiers with the Dutch National Team, Sam should take the reigns in Keravnos.

17 June 2009 - Hart retained in Keravnos

Keravnos knows a good thing when they see it and that is why they keep looking Jarrett Hart's way.  Again he will suit up for the Cypriot side and go out into the FIBA Challenge Cup where they have built a team to really make some noise.  He will no doubt leave another imprint on the domestic league and we will be watching for some great showings in Europe too!

15 June 2009 - Nile Murry retained

Being one of the best players in Japan has its advantages and Nile knows all about them.  After leading his team to the final four his Osakka Evessa side immediately made a renewal offer and Nile is onboard for another run at the championship.

1 June 2009 - Washam back to top league in Israel

A bit of a tumultuous season saw Tony move back to the second league mid season only to win another Championship and promote his new team to the top league.  He will stay at Netanya through the 2009-10 season and hopefully capture yet another championship.  Whose counting but that would be his 4th in 4 years!!

15 May 2009 - Ikovlev stays put

A season which saw Dennis collect several personal accolades for his accomplishments also made his team aware that they could not afford to loose his services.  He was rewarded with a lucrative deal in his homeland and will continue his stellar play this season.

10 May 2009 - Tshomba goes back to Switzerland

Douglas Tshomba leaves a lasting impression wherever he goes.  That is why at the conclusion of last season BC Boncourt from Switzerland came immediately with an offer.  His prior season in Fribourg in 2007-08 made them aware that when building for the future, he would be a piece.  We wish him continued success next season.

1 May 2009 - Whitting will stay

After another season in Germany, Zach has accepted his current club's offer of renewal and will stay in a Dusseldorf Giant's uniform for another season.  Being his third year we expect to see Zach have a team and personal breakout season.  The best is yet to come!

1 March 2009 - Bailey and Thomas to New Zealand

Chuck Bailey and John Thomas have been signed by Hawks Bay to fill their import needs and deliver a championship.  Three seasons ago Basketball Beyond Borders signed a tandem at this same team and that partnership resulted in the Championship.  The Hawks hope that with Thomas and Bailey history will repeat itself.

24 February 2009 - Villepigue moves to the Czech Republic

An outstanding season in Mexico saw Dustin Villepigue home for 10 days before the trade deadline in Europe caused several teams to consider him to bolster their front court.  BK Prostejov of the Czech Republic decided that Villepigue was exactly what they needed to give the team the depth they need to move into a championship contender for this season.  We know he will fit the bill.

12 February 2009 - Grant off to New Zealand

Kareem Grant is a great mix of size with a featherlike shooting touch.  After joining forces with Basketball Beyond Borders earlier this season he will now see action down under in New Zealand.  His new team, the Manawatu Jets, are excited at the prospect of Kareem joining their ranks and everyone is already looking forward to a successful season.  So are we!

10 February 2009 - Nealy back to Asia

After a dissapointed loss in the 2009 Championship game of the CBA, Rod Nealy is not long in mourning.  He immediately leaves for the Philippians where he will again suit up for his former team Ginebra Kings.  Rod was one of the best imports of the league two years ago and hopes to improve upon his fantastic showing again.  We wish him luck.

8 February 2009 - Kench moves to Hawks Bay

Jeremy Kench whose name has always been synonymous with Christchurch basketball has finally sprung the coup.  This season will see Kench line up in the back court for rival Hawks Bay and he attempts to guide them back to the Championship platform of 2006.  Alot will be expected of this young talent but we are confident he will deliver.....and then some!

5 February 2009 - Tshomba moves to England

Graduation is something that Douglas Tshomba promised he would do, so he took the first half of the season and finished his degree.  Coming to the market late can be stressful but the Worcester Wolves recognized Doug's mix of ability and athleticism and immediately put a contract on the table.  The BBL is a great league for Douglas to get back into the grove and we expect that his flair for highlights will make him a crowd favorite in England.

12 January 2009 - English is spoken again in Hungary

When you leave an imprint as large a Mike English did last season in Hungary people don't forget.  So when Atomeromu needed to fill their backcourt with a player to take the to the championship they had only one name in mind, Mike English.  He leaves Spain to return to this powerhouse first division side and hopefully deliver a championship.

20 December 2008 - Molnar to Iran

A start with LEB2 side Gijon got the attention of clubs everywhere and consequently Aron Molnar's contract was transferred to top division side Shahrdari Gorgan where he joins B3 teammate Rob Brown.  Together he and Rob will work the Iran Superleague and bring Gorgan into the playoff picture.

16 November 2008 - Gumbs in Slovakia

Jerome started the season with Dombovar in Hungary but after considerable mismanagement with that club he packed up and has moved over to Slovakia where he reunites with a ex-college teammate while playing for Inter Bratislava.  His impact has been felt immediately by the team as he recorded games of 24 and  34 points respectively.  Expect to see much more of that for the season.

10 November 2008 - Forte moves to Turkey

After fulfilling a temporary contract with Bamberg in Germany, Jason Forte has been inked by the Banvit Basketball Club in Turkey.  Currently he is playing for their second division team where he has already established himself as the premier scorer in the league.  Those results may soon see him suiting up on the first team.  Good luck Jason.

5 November 2008 - Brown breaks new ground

After a busy offseason that saw Rob star in the AND1 basketball tour, Rob has broken new ground for this company by signing a contract to play with Shahrdari Gorgan of the Superleague in Iran.  He will make his mark on the league with his array of dazzling dunks and athletic moves.  We wish the best for him in this new league.

10 October 2008 - Barlow to Cyprus

Eddy Barlow is on a mission once again.  After showing a complete game last season in Ukraine the lighting quick PG will like up on the island of Cyprus with the team Etha.  His cool head and great court vision are a great mix for this pass first PG who can set the table for anybody.  Expect Etha to make some real noise this coming season.

1 Oct 2008 - Ikovlev returns to his homeland

For the second year Denis Ikovlev will line up for a team in his native Ukraine after spending his first pro season there with Odessa.  This time the team is new to the league Ferro-Zntu Zaporozhye.  They scouted Denis last season and realized that he would be a great backbone to solidify their team and bring real professionalism.  Not to mention the fact that they realized that he is a great player!  Good luck Denis.

14 Sept 2008 - Villepigue goes south

After restarting his hoops career last season with B3, Dustin has joined up with a team in the high competitive LNBP in Mexico.  He arrived and played a game right off the plane only to loose in overtime.  The second game saw him and his new team Bucaneros de Campeche get the win.  This is a running league and Dustin has definitely hit the ground in stride.

12 Sept 2008 - Spain calls for Molnar

After several stops across the European landscape Aron Molnar finds himself with a great opportunity to make a name for himself in the Spanish LEB Silver league with Gijon.  A solid performer down low, Gijon will look for Molnar to clean the glass and make a solid offensive contribution while being a human eraser at the defensive end.  LEB Silver will feels Molnar's impact without doubt.

8 Sept 2008 - Forte takes on Europe

After 2 seasons' in the CBA that saw Jason Forte win a championship and post personal best numbers in every statistical category, he has been rewarded with his rookie shot in Europe.  A bruising PG, he has been tapped by Brose Baskets Bamberg to step into a gap caused by an injury to their starting PG, for a two month period.  We are confident Forte will make an impact in the next 8 weeks and bring himself recognition in Germany and abroad.

1Sept 2008 - Martin Joins B3 and heads for Portugal

Three years on the same team is enough.  And that is what Kevin Martin thought looking at his profile to this point.  His first job out of college in Austria saw him still there without progression.  This off season he took action by joining forces with Basketball Beyond Borders and now he finds himself in the competitive UZO league of Portugal.  Now it's time for him to shine in a new league and take his career into his own hands.  Good Luck Kevin!
 

28 August 2008 - Johnson back to Europe

After starting his Kareem in Europe some years ago Kareem Johnson comes back to Switzerland in hopes to bring his winning way to the team of Monthay in the LNA.  He has captured rebounding titles and championships in South American and the Oceanic regions and now will make some noise back in Europe.  With a child on the way and a new marriage to boot....we wish him all the best!

27 August 2008 - Mims to Coimbra

Good shooters shoot 40% behind the 3pt arch right?  What do you say about a player who shot 56% from 3 last season?  SIGN HIM UP is our suggestion.  That is just what Academica de Coimbra did!  After watching Mims last year torch the Proliga in Portugal, Coimbra was right on Mims to sign this year when they joined the top UZO league.  Now we will see if his fantastic shooting percentage can be duplicated this season!

27August 2008 - Dustin Brown to Ginasio

A year of slight wondering has finally brought Dustin Brown to the first division of Portugal.  Last year saw him suit up in Hungary and Austria before finally coming to rest with Sampaense of the Proliga in Portugal.  His outstanding play caught the attention of several coaches in the UZO Liga right upstairs and this season Dustin will suit up for Casino Figueira Ginasio for the entire season!

13 August 2008 - Washam moves to Nahariya

After making history with Hapoel Holon by beating Maccabi Tel Aviv last season, Tony Washam will move over to Iscar Nahariya where he will endeavor to show that he can duplicate his fantastic success wtih another team.  Coach Gino Yakov is excited to have him on board and Nahariya, always a final four participant, can take the next move to the championship with Tony at the helm.

10 August 2008 - Mortellaro stays in Spain

After a solid second half of the season which saw Chris Mortellaro post near double double numbers for Badajoz, Tarragona of LEB3 is hopeful that Chris can do the same for them this season.  He will join ADT Tarragona soon to continue with his Spanish playing experience.

2 August 2008 - Bouldin signs with Avila

Last year saw Dreike split time with two teams in Spain.  His final stop Avila proves to be his next full season assignment.  Avila made every effort to keep Dreike in their squad after his play got him named twice as player of the week in the final 2 months of the season.  A rugged performer he gave the team the shot in the arm they needed.  This season he will start with them right out of the gate to mount an assault on the playoffs.

1 August 2008 - Nile Murry goes back to Asia

After moving to Europe last season and suiting up for a top team in Hungary, the imprint that Nile Murry left in Japan during his first season was not forgotten.  Defending champions Osaka Evessa have made the move to swoop in and sign Nile for the 2008-09 season.  During his first season there with Toyama Nile showed he was one of the elite guards in the league.  Now they look to him to capture their 4th Championship!

22 July 2008 - Williams moves to Yavne

After a season with Shoam of the Israeli national league, Armond Williams has been fingered as the man to take Elitzur Yavne upstairs to the Premiere league.  As arguably the best player in the league last season we fully expect Yavne to be in the hunt for the top spot all season.

17 July 2008 - Hadley stays in Spain

After joining forces with B3 in late fall in 2007, Desean Hadley made his way back to Spain in style saving his team Tijola from possible relegation.  Now that the new season is upon us his team felt he was just the player they needed to keep and made him an offer to start the season in 2008.  We expect big things out of Desean now when he can step out of the gate and run the team from minute one!

17 July 2008 - Hart retained in Keravnos

After a season which saw Jarrett Hart do great things in the FIBA cup and Cyprus league, a late season wrist injury seemed to have ended his season.  Perhaps some players but not Hart who rehabbed furiously and stepped back into the Cypress Championships to help Keravnos capture the title!  Next season he will stay put as Keravnos will go out into the EuroChallenge with Hart leading the way.

16 July 2008 - Lottich to Europe

After a career deep in the Asian market of Japan and 3 championships later, Matt Lottich is packing it up to make the jump to Europe.  A wildly successful college career prior to his Asian championships left nothing more for Matt to do in Asia except make the move to the Duesseldorf Giants of the top league in Germany.  A new challenge is exactly what Matt has been looking for and he is up for the challenge.

15 July 2008 - Williams moves to Avila

After another season showing that he is one of the best defensive and roll playing forwards in the LEB2.  Chris Bart Williams has signed another season with Avila which will be his 4th season in Spain.  This year he will be looked upon with an expanded roll.  Just like a fine wine he gets better with age!

10 July 2008 - English to Spain

An extraordinary season of near averaging a triple double in Hungary has lead Mike English to LEB Gold in Spain.  Caceres 2016, a newly promoted team to the league has decided that his multi facetted game is exactly what the team needs to be successful.  Expect to see English in Spain for a long time to come.

9 July 2008 - Johnson moves upwards in Spain

After a dominant season in Spain LEB Bronze, Rob Johnson caused a lot of teams to look within their ranks to start their recruiting and the team that realized what an addition he can be is WTC Cornella from LEB Silver.  Rob will bring his rebounding prowess and help this team move up in the rankings.

26 June 2008 - Whiting to return to Germany

A rookie season in Germany coupled with leading the Bundesliga in assists is a great way to burst on the seen.  And that is exactly what Zach did, for his efforts, a new contract and a new club.  This coming season Zach will suit up for the Artland Dragons and begin his assault on the ULEB Cup.  Now teams from all over Europe will see what he is about.  Good Luck Zach!

20 June 2008 - Fergerson stays in Spain

After spending a season and a half in Lleida of the LEB Gold league, Dave Fergerson will remain in LEB Gold but move over to Melilla where he will fill the same roles for his new team.  A combo guard with a lot of ability Dave will endeavor to see his new team into the playoffs.

4 June 2008 - The Hawks keep Tait

After a season cut short by injury with the Australian NBL team the Wollongong Hawks, Lindsay Tait is again healthy and playing with the Wellington Saints of the the New Zealand Basketball League.  Lindsay has steered them to a first place ranking as he grooms himself for his upcoming return to action with Wollongong.  Expect more great things from this up and comer!

1 June 2008 - Richmond stays put

After establishing himself as one of the best players in France ProB over the past three seasons, Alonzo Richmond has one more season left with the French side Boulazac.  His complete game and veteran leadership make him a coveted recruit in the rankings of ProB.  Expect Boulazac to bounce back after a tough season to challenge for a playoff spot.

1 June 2008 - Darnell Hinson stays down under

Darnell Hinson played his first season down under in Aussie last season and showed it would not be his last.  After being an all-league selection he moved over to Puerto Rico for the early spring only to be named rookie of the year there.  Now he will return to Aussie on a three year deal with the Perth Wildcats of the NBL!  Aussie will hear alot from Darnell in the coming years.

1 March 2008 - Johnson returns to New Zealand

After a strong showing in South America, Kareem Johnson has returned to a league which has seen him dominate the championship series being in the finals the last three seasons and winning the championship two out of those three seasons.  After coming up short last season he is back for another shot at the coveted title.  We wouldn't bet against him!  Good luck Kareem.

5 February 2008 - Adkins to Chalon

Joe Adkins will go across the water and land in France with Chalons-en-Champagne of ProB.  A talented guard who has proven himself in several different leagues hopes to make France his home for the next few seasons.  We wish him well.

9 January 2008 - Hadley signs in Spain

After being referred to B3 through one of his close friends, DeSean Hadley decided to trust Basketball Beyond Borders with his future and now finds himself in Spain LEB Bronze with CB Tijola.  DeSean has his work cut out for him as Tijola current sits at the bottom of the league....but he relishes the challenge and we wish him good luck.

4 Jan 2008 - Head back to Israel for 2008

No better way to start the New Year off than with a new club.  James Head, a vet of the Israeli league, will join forces with Elitzur Yavne of the National League.  Changes to the playoff and league format will mean that three teams will be promoted and Yavne has their eyes on one of those positions and believe that Head is the right player to take them there.

29 Nov 2007 - Jones to Spain

After starting the season back in Holland with the Rotterdam Challengers, Sam Jones has received an offer from Spanish LEB Silver side Caceres 2016.  After an outstanding career in Holland which saw Jones capture back to back Championships, Spain presents a new challenge where we feel he will be equally successful.  Good Luck Sam.

26 Nov 2007 - Brown moves from Spain to Japan

After starting the season in Spain with Avila Jamar Brown has had the opportunity to move into the Asian market with the Toyama Grouses of the BJ League.  In a season full of injuries Jamar will suit up and be just what the doctor order for the presently winless Grouses team.  That is a situation that Jamar should help fix quickly.

25 Nov 2007 - Gumbs to T71 and debuts with 37 pts!

After waiting for the call, Jerome Gumbs finds himself joining last season's runners up in Luxembourg, T71 Dudelange.  He joined the team on Friday and after a long off season of consistent work Jerome scored 37pts, grabbed 8 rebs, dished 4 assists and stole 3 balls in 37 min as his side took the victory the very next night!  What will he do next game?  We are all waiting to see.

After showing himself as one of the best import players in Luxembourg in 2005, Marwan has returned to the familiar landscape of Luxembourg basketball to bolster the side AB Contern and walk them into the post season.  He did it before and we are confident he will do it again.

1 Nov 2007 - Myles back to Spain

10 Oct 2007 - Gomez to Benefica

One of the most storied teams in Portugal has asked Mike Gomez to line up in their back court and help them capture the ProLiga title of Portugal.  Gomez who is a gifted shooter will have the green light and the ability to do just that.  His first job in Europe after playing 'down under' in Australia, should be an excellent opportunity to win a championship.

6 Oct 2007 - Williams to Argentina

Desparate for a long distance marksman, Pedro Echague Capital Federal of the Argentinian TNA league has invited Field Williams to suit up for them and take care of their scoring needs from long distance.  Field is exactly what the team needs and will show that he is one of the best shooters anywhere he lands.

5 Oct 2007 - Beckles to Switzerland
