<a href="https://www.world-today-news.com/asvel-makes-short-work-of-gravelines-dunkerque/" title="ASVEL makes short work of Gravelines-Dunkerque”>Guerschon Yabusele took his first steps in the colors of the 76ers. A return to the NBA which would not have been possible without the Frenchman’s freelance work in Europe.
Guerschon Yabusele’s first stint in the NBA after his Draft in 2016 was not a great success. He played little with the Celtics and Boston did not retain him, but the Frenchman is a fighter.
Pour The Athletic“Yabu” returned to the whole journey he went through between his arrival at ASVEL and his return to the NBA.
“It was hard to leave the NBA because it was a dream of mine to play there. It took me a while to learn from this experience and make something good out of it.” – Guerschon Yabusele
After a quick visit to China, our national “Dancing Bear” went to ASVEL where he really stood out to the point of attracting Real Madrid. The Spanish club made an offer impossible to refuse for the interior and here he landed in the Iberian capital.
At Real, Guerschon really exploded and managed to establish himself as a pillar of the club. It is at the White House that Yabu perfects his scales. He’s becoming a better outside shooter and defender. Qualities sought by the Celtics that the Frenchman took time to acquire. This passage among our Pyrenean neighbors allows “Guersch’” to mature and polish its weapons. Important assets in the coronation of 2023 in the Euroleague.
Thanks to the Spanish club, Yabusele once again becomes a name to follow for all basketball fans. Frenchy was no longer in the NBA, but he was on the best team in Europe. No other club could offer him such media exposure. Yabu was in the best place to make his dream of returning to the Big League come true.
“I thank Real Madrid because they played a real role in my return to the NBA. We won so many trophies and played so many finals, I learned every day to be better.” – Guerschon Yabusele
If Real has put the light back on The Bearit was France and the Olympic Games that made it explode in the eyes of the whole world. Over the years and with the strength of his work, the interior has made an increasingly important place in Vincent Collet’s rotation to such an extent that he has established himself as an essential player.
Yabu managed to snatch the starting place for the Blues at the 2024 Olympic Games within a team which successively took out Germany and Canada. All symbolized by this incredible poster on LeBron James in the final.
One of the biggest actions of the tournament, but above all the biggest spotlight on Guerschon’s face. The neo-76ers took advantage of the moment and capitalized on it with a tweet declaring that he was ready for a second chance in the NBA.
This chance did not take 1,000 years to arrive, but only two weeks. Philadelphia wanted the Frenchman and was counting on him. By accepting this offer, Guerschon knew he was going to come back to have a real role and not just polish the bench. Furthermore, Yabusele does not want to be satisfied with this return, he wants to go further and really carve out his place, in the long term, in the Great League.
For the 76ers, Guersch’ can establish himself in the frontcourt thanks to his versatility. Yabu can shoot 3-pointers, drive and attack the rim, but above all bring energy off the bench. Qualities that Nick Nurse will know how to use.
