As the playoffs is underway,
David Burbery(22818402) is officially retired from the U21 national team.
In the 4 world cup game this season the captain (self acknowledged :P), Burbery, started all 4 games with
proficient GS and had an average game rating of 13.75, scoring
19.5pts, dishing out
4assists, collecting
3.75rebs and had a shooting percentage of
53.45% including
40% beyond the arc. Although his team was back home fishing and feeding kangaroos just after 4 games, his performance was top-classed in this out-side focusing U21 team.
Retrospecting into his career with the U21 team, Burbery was actually a member in the season 20 squad also led by Leeroy and have had the chance to play with some of the legends like Willy Johnson, Longergan, Scoggins and Jolly. Burbery made his debut in the group stage of the Asian Championship against China as a starter and later won the Runner-up of the competition with the team in season 20. After having much success with the team, Burbery became the leader of the U21 squad this season as the most experienced player and later proved in his game that he is not only the most experienced but also the "best". After two seasons serving in the U21 team, Burbery has his name marked in the page of the history.
“If was a shame not to win the championship with the team. The community is still growing though and we should be patient and positive about the future.” David said to the media today and show confidence to the team's future.
David insisted later that he was still sad about getting eliminated in the early stage this season but have said he would move on now and focus on the club games. David has just recovered from his injury few days ago and now his team is in the semi-finals in the play-offs of Div III.12
