Guerschon Yabusele on how his New York Knicks stint was like the Boston Celtics (derogatory)
· Yahoo Sports
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Or so feels former Boston big man Guerschon Yabusele in a recent interview focused on his stint with the New York Knicks in his second stab at an NBA career. Drafted by the Celtics in the same draft that brought Boston star forward Jaylen Brown, Yabu was taken earlier in the draft than he was expected to go given his willingness to be stashed for a season for an overfull Boston roster's needs at the time.
But when the Dancing Bear did make the leap to the Association, he mostly rode the pine, fighting for playing time that never really came given how stacked the team was when he did join the league. Fast-forward to his time in the Big Apple after a successful return with the Philadelphia 76ers, and Yabusele found himself in a familiar position – and one he was not especially nostalgic about. It was the "same thing, the games go on, the games go on, and well, I still do not play," said Yabu in a recent interview. "I still do not play."

"And sometimes, zero minutes," he added. "And me, there, actually, it hit me, where I say to myself, ‘Ah, but I feel like I am in Boston, actually.’"
"When I look at Boston, we are in 2026, and it was ten years ago," said Yabu. "It hit me. I said to myself, ‘Damn, 10 years. A ton of things have happened since then, and I am still getting zero minutes. It is not possible.’ The frustration was there."
"I would go home, I did not know what to do anymore. I said to myself, ‘But it is not possible. I am not going to go back into that for the whole season.’ And I signed there for two years. And I say to myself, ‘He signed for three years or four years, the coach. I am not going to not play for two years.’"
History may not repeat itself, but unfortunately for Yabusele, it has been rhyming quite a bit for him of late.
