Around the World in 80 Baskets: Brylle Kamen’s Basketball Odyssey

Title: Around the World in 80 Baskets: Brylle Kamen’s Basketball Odyssey
Date: October 5, 2012
Original Source: UBC Thunderbirds Men’s Basketball Program
Synopsis: After 369 articles/blogs published online, #370 was my first in print. It is a feature on Brylle Kamen, a UBC Men’s Basketball player who transferred to UBC after four stops in the U.S. (including two D-I NCAA programs). Brylle is from Paris, France and is also a member of the Cameroon National Basketball team. I wasn’t sure how to reproduce the piece (other than maybe scanning and uploading the shots), so I just reproduced the text below, so you miss out on the pictures/formatting etc that had me so excited about my first “in print” piece.
