The Kyoto Hannaryz have had an up-and-down season. They also have the league's reigning MVP, Wendell White, to provide inspiration and all-around excellence at any time.
On Sunday, White notched a triple double — 29 points, 15 rebounds, 13 assists, as well as two steals and two blocks — in the Hannaryz's 105-84 home triumph over the Shiga Lakestars.
Kyoto enters the All-Star break with a 13-13 record and sits in fifth place in the bj-league's ultra-tough Western Conference.
