For more than a decade in Japan, versatile forward Michael Parker has played an exciting, high-energy brand of all-around basketball.

His arrival a few weeks into the 2007-08 season gave the Rizing Fukuoka a big spark at both ends of the floor, helping lead the expansion club to an improbable run to the bj-league Final Four under fiery bench boss John Neumann.

Parker was at it again on Sunday with a terrific all-around performance for his latest team, the Chiba Jets. He notched a double-double (17 points, 12 rebounds) and also contributed five blocks, four assists and two steals.
