Passed by the Celtics and the Magic, interior Brandon Hunter died suddenly during a yoga session at the beginning of the week.
The coach of the University of Ohio, Jeff Boalsannounced this Tuesday the death of the former NBAer Brandon Hunter. A true star in the NCAA with the Bobcats, Hunter completed a complete four-year course. It was during his senior season that he exploded the scorers with 21.5 points, 52.3% shooting, 12.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists. A line of stats that caught the eye of the Celtics who drafted him in 56th position in 2003. With reduced playing time in Boston, the power forward averaged 3.5 points and 3.3 rebounds in 11 minutes. This will be his only season in Massachusetts. Not protected by C’s duringexpansion draft 2004, he was picked up by the Charlotte Bobcats and transferred a few weeks later to Orlando once morest Keith Bogans. In around thirty games with the Magic, he brought similar production to his rookie year.
Then tested by the Bucks and the Cavaliers, he failed to make his mark in the NBA. Then begins a long journey across the globe for him with visits notably to Panathinakos, Naples, Hapoel Jerusalem and ending with the French championship in Orlans and Evreux. For his career change, Brandon Hunter kept one foot in basketball by creating a sports management company, where he works as a FIBA and NBPA agent. It was during an ordinary yoga session in Orlando that the former NBAer collapsed. A death occurred in his 42nd year. His former coach Jeff Boals paid him a final tribute:
We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Brandon Hunter. Brandon was a phenomenal player in Ohio who had a successful professional career. He was a great ambassador for Ohio, a great teammate, a great competitor and a great family man. Brandon had an infectious fighter personality that touched many people along his journey.
