of the Month for February, but also garnered Men's Premier League 2016 All-Star First Pick honors. Turner appeared in all 18 regular season games for Killester in 2015–16, averaging 22.0 points, 14.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.6 blocks per game. Final season Heading into his 17th professional season as a 42-year-old, Turner's game attire was still a black headband, black sleeve, black shoes and black socks—a tradition dating back to his high school days. Turner's original swag was still on display to make him the game's most compelling figure. Turner was captivated as a youth by the audacity of Michigan's Fab Five, basketball's first hip-hop stars.

On March 18, 2017, Turner played his final game in the Irish League. Fittingly, Killester matched-up against DCU Saints in the regular-season finale, giving Turner the
