Friday Quickies: Estonian Champion Edition

Isaiah Briscoe has won a championship.

The former Kentucky Wildcat is now playing ball overseas in Estonia for BC Kalev/Cramo. This is the team’s 10th Estonian Championship. Briscoe posted a photo of the celebration on his Instagram.

Briscoe scored 20 points, and was apparently(?) the leading scorer for the game.
