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.
