Former Celtic Guerschon Yabusele on playing for Real Madrid, his time in the NBA

In recent days, former Boston Celtics big man Guerschon Yabusele has been in the news for all of the wrong reasons. 

He was the focal point in a massive brawl between EuroLeague teams Real Madrid and KK Partizan. But the former No. 16 pick has been forging a solid career for himself in Europe since leaving the NBA, an experience he recently sat down with the folks from the Swish Culture “Role Player” podcast.

The Dancing Bear — as Yabusele is called — also touched on what it was like to play in the Chinese Basketball Association for a season while stashed and waiting to join the Celtics in the NBA, and how much of a challenge it was for him as a foreign player.

Check out the clip embedded above to get a look at how Yabu is doing these days when he’s not locked in mortal combat with players from other teams to see a gentler side of the French forward.
