In the 2011-12 season, the Shandong men's basketball team signed the big foreign player Othello Hunter, an inside player who played for one season in the Shandong men's basketball team and left at the end of the season. Today, the 36-year-old Hunter is still continuing his professional basketball career, and after moving to the European Basketball League, his recent development has been quite good.
When he joined the Shandong men's basketball team, Hunter was only 25 years old, when he played hard, he could contribute 17.5 points and 12.1 rebounds per game, although the technique was relatively rough, but also had a certain projection ability, and the ability to grab rebounds was quite outstanding. That season, the Shandong men's basketball team had a luxurious lineup, Ding Yanyuhang, Tao Hanlin and other young players were talented, and the team signed a big-name foreign aid Anderson. Unfortunately, the Shandong men's basketball team eventually missed the playoffs, ranking only 13th in the regular season.
There are reports that Hunter once hoped to stay in the Shandong men's basketball team at the end of the season, but was rejected, and the following season, the Shandong men's basketball team with three foreign aides reached the finals. After leaving the Shandong men's basketball team, Hunter played in the European basketball league for a long time, he first joined the Valladolid club in Spain, during which he also joined Jiangsu Tongxi, who was still in the NBL at the time, and performed quite well.
In recent years, Hunter has played for a number of big clubs in Europe, playing for Greek side Olympiacos from 2014 to 2016, before joining Real Madrid in the 2016-17 season. From 2017 to 2019, Hunter played for CSKA Moscow in Russia, and for the next 2 seasons he joined Maccabi club in Israel. Today, the 36-year-old Hunt plays for Bayern Munich in the German league, a club with a very well-known football team and a certain reputation for basketball.
Today, Hunter needs to play in both the German league and the Euroleague basketball league at Bayern Munich, and in his most recent appearance, he beat Brunswick 91-82 for Bayern, where Hunter scored seven points and grabbed two rebounds and played 14 minutes. In the German League this season, Hunter averaged 8.2 points and 5 rebounds in 20.1 minutes per game, while in the Euroleague he averaged 7.6 points and 5.3 rebounds per game. It can be seen that although Hunter is now a veteran, he still has a place in the European arena.
