For Yuta Tabuse, there is no reason to store his basketball shoes on the shelf, because he has no time to relax — not even during the offseason.
The 173-cm point guard guided the Link Tochigi Brex to their first Japan Basketball League title two weeks ago, a three-game sweep in the title series against the two-time reigning champion Aisin SeaHorses.
But Tabuse doesn't have time to rest on his laurels. His focus will be on fitness in the weeks to come.
