Masayuki Kabaya played a starring role in leading the Yokohama B-Corsairs to a championship in their second season in the bj-league.

That was in May at Ariake Colosseum, where he grabbed Final Four MVP honors after a 35-point championship game masterpiece in which he buried all five of his 3-point attempts against the Rizing Fukuoka.

That almost seems like ancient history now.
