Two-time NEBL champion. Proven leader, Relentless rebounder and Perenial double-double machine, Brian “Beso” White built a legacy on toughness, team-first basketball, and showing up when it mattered most. But in 2024, his journey took an unexpected turn that cut an already productive season short. Now in 2025, he’s back on the Belizean professional basketball scene. He joins a growing trend of high-profile ‘Marquee players’ who are committing to play in the BPBL. Through his participation, he aims to reestablish his reputation and remind fans and competitors alike who is BESO.
Brian White, who is renowned for his exceptional rebounding skills and versatility in adapting to different playing styles, shares a sentiment common among professional basketball players in Belize:
“I just want PLAY BALL.”
In an interview with Beso, he was asked how he feels about the BPBL. His response was:
“I’m glad that basketball is coming back. Happy that Dr. Gordon (BPBL CEO) and his team are finally doing something so that we can get this ball going again. I’m happy… I’m happy that we have something to do bro, because honestly the weekend they mi dead! Now that basketball is coming back, I am EXCITED RIGHT NOW!”
Brian was also asked how he feels about the format. He said:
“I like it. Dah wah good movement to man (translation: It is a good movement). It’s the first time trying something like this. I hope it goes as planned.”
Brian White has been a Top 5 rebounder in every league he has played in for the past 5 years of professional basketball in Belize. When he was asked how he is getting in shape for the BPBL, his response was:
“I ina the gym right now (translation: I am in the gym right now). I go to the gym; I’m playing ball right now trying to get back in form. By end of year (playoff time) I should be alright.”
If there wasn’t any indication for an itch for basketball, let this be the first public one. Belize is ready to PLAY BALL! Never fear, the BPBL is here. Brian, like many other pro players, is ready to go. The question that remains is…
WHO BESO WA PLAY FAH ?!
