Bonn's Hoops Hotshot, Kessens, Returns from Berlin to Rejoin Baskets
Departure of Alba, Back to Bonn - Alba bids farewell to Kessens, who returns to his original location, Bonn.
Hey there! Get your basketball shoes ready! German Basketball Bundesliga (BBL) veteran, Michael Kessens, is heading back to his original turf with Telekom Baskets Bonn after a stint with ALBA Berlin.
Kessens, towering at an impressive 2.06 meters, has signed a fresh two-year contract with the Bonn squad. This marks his return to the league he initially graced from 2021 to 2023. You might remember him as a crucial part of the team that secured the Champions League victory in 2023 and reached the German championship final the same year[1]. Kessens didn't slow his roll on his journey to Paris, as he went on to seize the EuroCup and the French Leaders Cup in 2024.
If you're wondering about Kessens' experience in Paris and Berlin, not a lot of juicy details popped up on our radar[1]. However, during his time with ALBA Berlin in the BBL, Kessens averaged 6.1 points per game and a bulky 3.8 rebounds per game[2]. ALBA Berlin is well-known for its stellar performance in Europe's premier basketball leagues, such as the EuroLeague.
Oh, and it's worth noting that Kessens played college ball in the USA at Longwood University, the University of Alabama, and Florida International University before diving headfirst into his European career[3].
In a nutshell, Michael Kessens is a seasoned pro with a smorgasbord of experiences under his belt. His European career has been marked by impressive stints with top-tier teams, but specific achievements in Bonn and details about his EuroCup victories remain a bit of a mystery[1][2][3].
