Since he first arrived at the Halle Parsemain one day in April 2017, Jaraun Burrows has become a familiar face in the Tivaux lair. Either as a player, he who participated in two rises of the BYers in Betclic ELITE (in 2018 and 2021), or as a spectator, he who came to watch a considerable number of matches due to his personal links and in the region.
“The Shaq and Kobe of the Bahamas reunited again!” »
In Fos, he even did a little more than that: he set up a bridge between the Bahamas, his native country, and the training center of the southern club. If Domnick Bridgewater is the local star today, it’s because Kino Burrows placed him there in 2019.

With 11 points in 21 minutes, he made an immediate contribution to this shock victory in the North. All the more meritorious since he only had two official matches on the clock for five months: a double confrontation against Canada during the last international window…
Already a coach in parallel
As he began his fifth season in Fos-Provence, and validated his third return to Bouches-du-Rhône, Jaraun Burrows will have the opportunity to leave a better last impression on BYers supporters than his sad 2020/21 season in Pro B (11 matches played), probably his most difficult in his career.
Far from the showman who put on a show during his early thirties at Parsemain, regulars at the Halle du Docteur Henri-Giuitta will now (re)discover a hardened forty-year-old, who now shines for the accuracy of his game, his leadership and his knowledge of the game. For good reason, he risks becoming the first NM1 player, with a past as a coach. Last summer, he won the bronze medal in the Caribbean championship with the… Bahamas women’s selection, in the role of assistant coach!
