Reggie George (ex ESG) is a newcomer at Al Taleiah

Al Taleiah Hama (SBL) added to their roster experienced 39-year old Trinidad and Tobago-American ex-international power forward Reggie George (208cm-112kg-1984, college: RMU). George joins another USA player Josh White who is already in the roster.
He moved there from Etoile Sportive La Goulette in Tunisian CN1 league where he played this season. He was a member of Trinidad and Tobago Senior National Team between 2009 and 2010.
He is quite experienced player. Thanks to George's pro career he managed to play on five different continents (Europe, Asia, Latin America, Africa and of course North America) in eleven different countries. George has played previously professionally in Canada (Kebs de Laval and Rainmen), France, Mexico (Potros), Morocco (Raja de Casablanca), South Korea (KCC Egis), Egypt (Al Ittihad), ABA (Chicago S. and Shizouka G.), EBA (Dayton A.S.), PBL (Sauk Valley P.), Armenia (Urartu, Dvin and BKMA Yerevan) and Ivory Coast (Azur).
The list of the past achievements is quite long as among others his team made it to the Armenian League A Semifinals in 2021. He was also received Ivory Coast National 1 League Semifinals award in 2022.
George is close to retirement age as a player. It's very possible he may end his playing career at Al Taleiah.
He is a former Eurobasket Summer League player, which is considered top summer league for players who want to play basketball overseas.
George graduated from Robert Morris University Illinois in 2007 and it is his 16th (!!!) season as a professional player. He played also for Iowa State University for 2 years.
The scouts decsribe him following way: A great leaper inside, who has good timing for boards and blocks, but who needs to bulk up, because he suffers stronger and heavier opponents.
