Jermaine Turner Biography

Jermaine Turner is one of the most popular and richest Basketball Player who was born on July 29, 1974 in Brooklyn, New York, United States. Jermaine Turner (born on July 29th 1974) is an American-Irish former professional basketball player who played most of his 17-year playing career with the Irish Super League. Turner first came to Ireland in the year 2000 following an academic year of basketball at Dowling College. Over the course of 17 years, he played playing for Dungannon, Tralee, Ballina, Tolka Rovers, UCD Marian, St Vincent’s, and Killester. Also, he played at Switzerland, Finland, Romania and Spain.

According to his height as 6’5″ center forward in the year 2000, Turner was a 26-year-old rookie at Dungannon. At the beginning, Turner didn’t know what to think of Ireland. The Irishman was awed by the warmth of the locals and was intrigued by Ireland’s culture, but he was initially dissatisfied with the facilities and customs. Turner explained, “I was riding my old American top horse. The locker rooms are small. I have to carry my bag. We don’t train enough. They ask me to be a coach for local children, but I just like playing.’ However, when I returned to America to spend holidays, I realized that I needed to get my blinders off, or else I’d be like my family members back home and doing nothing, or in a job that they hated.” He began to love the lifestyle, and it was evident both in and out of the court. Although the team was regarded as “prolific” and contributed significantly to each game, he sometimes did not have the support he needed when he was in the offensive game. In a loss of 92-74 to the Tralee Tigers on January 1, 2001 Turner was averaging 49.

In the summer of 2002, Tralee hired a new coach, Rus Bradburd, who wanted to recruit his own professionals. Bradburd passed on Turner, who instead took up an offer to play with UCD Marian.

In September 2001, Turner signed with Tralee for the 2001–02 season. Turner teamed up with fellow American Barnaby Craddock and Canadians Paul Williscroft and Rob Schrurer. In his second year in the Irish League, Turner helped Tralee finish as regular-season runners-up with a 20–6 record. On March 24, 2002, Tralee landed the All Ireland Top 8 title after an enthralling victory over Killester in the final. Turner scored a game-high 22 points in the 78–69 win.

The year 1999 saw Artest was released from St John’s to join the NBA while Turner returned to college. He enrolled in the NCAA Division II’s Dowling College and went on to average 20 points and 10 rebounds per game throughout his 1999-2000 campaign. He was awarded All-America distinction at Dowling and earned the bachelor’s degree in Sociology.

Throughout his career, Turner would often pretend to open the back of his shirt when he was celebrating the occasion, similar to Superman and a name Ron Artest would call him as they played in the streets of New York in the 1990s.

When he was out of college in the 90s, participating in New York City indoor leagues and playing on play areas, Turner met future NBA champion Ron Artest. According to Turner earlier, prior to when Artest altered his name, he changed it changed to Metta World Peace and prior to in 2004’s “Malice at the Palace” incident the Artest whom Turner had known was wildly liked, grounded, and likable youngster. Turner and Artest were both very popular. Turner and Artest resided in Queens and participated in the famous tournaments at Rucker Park.

After college, Turner was invited to a free agent camp in Utah—a camp where college seniors who are under the radar go and try to continue their careers. Turner was befriended by a former owner of a BBL team, Bob Wood. Wood told Turner that he would keep him in mind if a team contacted him about players. Later that summer, Turner received a call from Chester Jets coach Robbie Peers. He told Turner that he would sign him if his first choice, former NBA player Loren Meyer, fell through. Meyer did sign with them, and so the search continued. After a 15-game stint in Puerto Rico with Capitanes de Arecibo, where he averaged 10.7 points and 5.3 rebounds, Turner received a call from Irishman Frankie O’Loane on September 10, 2000. It was O’Loane who brought Turner to Ireland to play for Tyrone Towers in Dungannon. Turner arrived in Ireland on September 18, 2000, to begin his first professional season.
