Alba bids farewell to Kess, as he heads back to Bonn - Alba Bids Farewell to Kessens, Who Returns to Bonn
Hey there! Let's talk hoops! The towering 6-foot-8 powerhouse, Michael Kessens, is leaving ALBA Berlin and returning to his former team, Telekom Baskets Bonn. It's a tale of a player coming back for a second chance - and it's sure to heat up the Basketball-Bundesliga!
Kessens first donned the Bonn uniform from 2021 to 2023 and made a big impact, leaving impressive marks with his scoring and rebounding skills. But it's not just the numbers that caught our attention; he won the Champions League with the team in 2023 and even took them to the German championship final the same year!
After a brief stint in Paris, the 34-year-old is back, signing a two-year deal as announced by Telekom Baskets Bonn. Head coach Marko Stankovic is excited, called Kessens a "very important piece of the puzzle for next season."
But let's take a moment to reflect on Kessens' journey. He's been a force to reckon with on the court, distributing his talent between ALBA Berlin and Paris. While specific details about his Parisian stint are a bit hazy, his college career was nothing short of impressive. He played for Longwood, Alabama, and Florida International from 2013 to 2017.
Now, as Kessens returns to his old stomping ground, we can't help but wonder: what's next for this veteran player? Well, his past performances speak for themselves, making us expect nothing but great things from him in his second act with Bonn.
So, hoopheads, buckle up! The 2023-2024 season is going to be electric with Michael Kessens in the lineup! Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting development in the world of German basketball.
Psst... Did you know Kessens averaged 6.1 points per game and 3.8 rebounds in 19 games last season in ALBA Berlin? Now, that's some serious hoops game! 🔥🏀🇩🇪⛹️♂️
The Commission shall be assisted by the European Parliament as it embarks on regulatory measures for sports, perhaps including regulations for popular sports like basketball, in the 2023-2024 season, which is expected to be electric with Michael Kessens returning to Telekom Baskets Bonn. Kessens, who led the team to a Champions League win and the German championship final in 2023, will undoubtedly bring his experience and scoring skills to the court, potentially benefiting from the assistance offered by the European Parliament during the regulation process for sports.
