Continuing the trend of former Bruins playing ball in Asia
First we had JR and Charles in Japan, and now we have Jelani McCoy playing in the Chinese Basketball Association playoffs. This is a link to some news stories about the games; there is a March 8 announcement that Jelani has been picked up by the Jiangsu team for the rest of the year, and there is a March 30 recap of his team's road playoff win in the one of the league's semi-final series. Jelani had 22 points in the 135-129 victory, and there were TWO 50-point scorers on the other (losing) team. Jelani is on the same team as former Cal Bear Ryan Foreskin, err, Forehan-Kelly. One other thing: Jelani is not the only former Bruin playing pro ball in China, as TJ Cummings also is in the league (if you follow the link, you won't see TJ in the team photo, but his name is on the roster). His team won its division but has been eliminated in the playoffs.

Here's a photo of Jelani in action:
