Not everyone is fortunate to make it to the NBA and win titles left and right, but that didn't stop former Ohio State basketball player Jon Diebler from having success professionally on the hardwood.
Diebler, who averaged 10.7 points and shot threes at a stupid 41.6 percent clip for the Buckeyes from 2007-11, was an integral part in Pinar Karsiyaka winning the Turkish Basketball League Friday.

Yes, that's former Buckeye and Diebler's college teammate David Lighty showing love to the sharpshooter from Upper Sandusky, Ohio. Lighty currently plays professionally in France.
Diebler is a starter for Pinar Karsiyaka and scored 12 points on 4-of-7 shooting from behind the arc in the series clinching matchup against Anadolu Efes. Pinar Karsiyaka won the series in five games with the 85-71 clincher, winning four in a row after dropping Game 1.
Diebler played in all 40 games in the 2014-15 season for Pinar Karsiyaka and averaged 12.9 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists in the championship campaign. He also led the team in 3-point shooting at 41.6 percent.
