Joshua Ian Shipp (born February 14, 1986 in Los Angeles , California ) is an American basketball player . After studying at his birthplace, Shipp began a professional career in Turkey , where he played for various clubs but missed a title win. In the 2014/15 basketball Bundesliga , he played for the future German champions Brose Baskets from Bamberg for a limited period of just under two months.
Career
Shipp won a state championship with the school basketball team Lions while at school at Fairfax High School in his hometown . After graduating from school, he began studying in his hometown at the University of California, Los Angeles , where he played from 2004 for the college team Bruins in the Pacific-10 Conference of the NCAA . With the basketball record champion of the NCAA, Shipp initially missed participation in the national NCAA finals as a freshman , before he only played four games in his second season because of a hip injury and finally stopped this season as "redshirted" when the Bruins among others Jordan Farmar won the Pac-10 Championship and the NCAA runner-up. Although the Bruins initially missed defending their title in the Pac-10 in 2007, Shipp and Arron Afflalo , among others, made it back into the Final Four , in which the defending champion Gators of the University of Florida was in the semifinals in the new edition of the previous year's final again defeated. Together with Russell Westbrook and Kevin Love , Shipp was one of the top favorites with the Bruins in 2008, but after winning the Pac-10 championship, they lost the national semifinals again this time against the Tigers of the University of Memphis from coach John Calipari . In his final NCAA season, Shipp was team-internal Most Valuable Player with Darren Collison , but Shipp's NCAA career ended early this time after a second round defeat. While Collison was selected like many of Shipp's teammates in the first round of the 2009 NBA Draft , Shipp himself was not included in the entry draft of the highest-endowed professional league.
After the NBA Summer League with the Chicago Bulls , Shipp began a professional career in Europe for the 2009/10 season and signed with the first division promoted to the Türkiye Basketbol Ligi (TBL) in Bornova, Turkey . As the second best scorer of the TBL with a good 19 points per game, Shipp was a guarantee that the newcomer could qualify immediately in seventh place for the play-offs for the championship, in which one in the first round against the eventual title winner Fenerbahçe Ülker lost. For the following season Shipp also played in Istanbul for Fenerbahçes local rivals Galatasaray, who however lost the play-off final series against the defending champions. In the following season, the champions weakened and were eliminated against other local rivals Beşiktaş Milangaz , but Galatasaray himself lost in the semi-final series to the eventual title winner Beşiktaş. Only one season later Galatasaray should win the championship, but Shipp already played for record champions Anadolu Efes SK from Istanbul in the 2012/13 season. Last year's runner-up Efes, however, missed the final series against Galatasaray and already lost the semi-final series against Banvit BK . During his three years for Istanbul clubs, Shipp also played regularly in European club competitions. After Galatasaray was the only one of three Turkish teams to reach the intermediate round in the 2010/11 Eurocup , they played as the Turkish runner-up in the top-tier European club competition ULEB Euroleague 2011/12 , in which they played together with local rival Efes in a joint intermediate round group against the eventual finalists Olympiacos Piraeus and PBK CSKA Moscow retired. A year later Shipp reached the quarter-final play-offs with Anadolu Efes, which were only lost after five games against defending champions Olympiacos. In the 2013/14 season, Shipp was under contract with Türk Telekomspor in Ankara . However, the team was only able to improve slightly compared to the previous season and again failed to make it into the Turkish championship play-offs in eleventh place.
In the 2014/15 season Shipp only got a contract after the start of the season and benefited from a protracted injury to his compatriot Carlon Brown . Shipp played again in the Eurocup 2014/15 with the Brose Baskets from Bamberg , but the former German champion under his new Italian trainer Andrea Trinchieri agreed to terminate his contract with Shipp in January 2015. Shipp missed winning the German championship by Bamberg at the end of the season.
