Jermaine Bucknor (born November 1, 1983 in Edmonton , Alberta ) is a Canadian basketball player. The former Canadian international played as a professional next to a year in Argentina mainly in France and Germany . With the Canadian national team , he reached fourth place at the 2009 American Basketball Championship and took part in the 2010 World Basketball Championship in Turkey . In the basketball Bundesliga 2012/13 Bucknor played for the German first division club TBB Trier. After the bankruptcy of TBB he left Trier and played for Belfius Mons-Hainaut (Belgium-Scooore League) for a year. At the beginning of the 2016/17 season he played seven games for Ciclista Olimpico de La Banda (Argentina-LigaA), only to leave the club at the end of 2016. On January 27th, the Römerstrom Gladiators Trier ( 2nd basketball league ) surprisingly announced that the former captain of the TBB Trier had signed a contract until the end of the season. A few days later it became known that the surprising transfer was ultimately the result of the initiative of four Trier fans who had asked Bucknor via Facebook whether he wanted to come back to Trier.
Career
After graduating from Ross Sheppard High School in his hometown, Bucknor moved to the neighboring United States in 2002 to study at the University of Richmond in the city of the same name in the state of Virginia . There he was active for the university team Spiders in the Atlantic 10 Conference of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). After a first round defeat at the National Invitation Tournament in 2003, you were qualified for the national finals of the NCAA in 2004 , in which you lost in the first round to the higher-rated Badgers of the University of Wisconsin . Subsequently, the Spiders could not qualify for any “ postseason ” competitions until 2006 . Bucknor, however, was in the 2005 squad of the Canadian national team at the American Basketball Championship in 2005 , in which the Canadians, however, only finished ninth and missed a qualification for the 2006 World Cup.
After finishing his studies in 2006, Bucknor began a professional career in the second French Pro B league with the traditional club CSP Élite from Limoges , which had been re-established two years earlier after bankruptcy. Already in December 2006 they parted again and Bucknor signed a contract with the Polish first division team Polpak from Świecie in the Polska Liga Koszykówki . At the end of the season Bucknor returned to France and played for the third division club ESSM from Le Portel at Boulogne-sur-Mer on the English Channel , with whom he made the promotion to the Pro B and for which he also played in the following season 2007/08 who reached relegation in the second French division. During the European summer break in 2008 he played in his hometown for the newly founded club Chill in the International Basketball League . For the 2008/09 season he returned again to the French Pro B and played in Clermont-Ferrand for the first division relegated Basket Auvergne, which he left in late January 2009 and moved to league rivals Maurienne Savoie Basket from Aix-les-Bains .
In the summer of 2009 Bucknor played with the Canadian national team at the American Basketball Championship 2009 in Puerto Rico , where they just reached the semi-finals in the quarter-finals and thus qualified for the subsequent world championships. In the final round they finished fourth after a semi-final defeat against eventual title winner Brazil and a defeat against Argentina in the game for the bronze medal. In the 2009/10 season Bucknor played again for Basket Auvergne, but at the end of the season they missed the play-offs for promotion to the top division Pro A. At the basketball world championship 2010 in Turkey, Bucknor conceded with the national team after an opening defeat against outsider Lebanon but only defeats in five games and was eliminated in the preliminary round.
At the beginning of the basketball Bundesliga 2010/11 Bucknor was signed by the German runner-up Deutsche Bank Skyliners from Frankfurt am Main on a temporary basis. After a knee injury, Bucknor's contract expired before he got another fixed-term contract at the end of November after injuring other colleagues. This ended in mid-January 2011 and was again not extended, so Bucknor looked for a new club in Argentina . For Club Sportivo 9 de Julio de Río Tercero in the province of Córdoba Bucknor played the season to the end before he moved to the new season 2011/12 to the league rivals Club Deportivo Libertad from Sunchales in the neighboring province of Santa Fe . At the end of 2011, however, he left the club and moved to the German first division promoted s.Oliver Baskets from Würzburg , who made it into the play-offs for the championship. Here they were eliminated in the semifinals against the later runner-up ratiopharm ulm .
For the 2012/13 season Bucknor was signed by the Würzburg league competitor TBB Trier, who extended his trial contract at the start of the season after four weeks until the end of the following season. After the bankruptcy of TBB, he left Trier and played for Belfius Mons-Hainaut (Belgium-Scooore League) for one year and at the beginning of the 2016/17 season for Ciclista Olimpico de La Banda (Argentina-LigaA). After the surprising return to Trier at the beginning of 2017, he played his first game for the Römerstrom Gladiators against the NINERS Chemnitz on February 3, 2017 .
