Esmeral Tunçluer
Encyclopedia
Esmeral Özçelik Tunçluer (born April 7, 1980 in Ede, Netherlands
) is a Dutch-Turkish
female basketball
player for Fenerbahçe İstanbul
. The 1.75 metre national competitor plays in the guard position.
Tuncluer is probably the best shooter on the team, deadly from almost any range. Tuncluer is the closest player Turkey has to a dominant guard and if left unattended she can sink any defense with her marksmanship. Her body language sometimes does not reflect the overall aggressiveness of the team but that’s only a poker face as she is committed and intense on both the offensive and defensive end of the floor.
She played with Beşiktaş Cola Turka
, Fenerbahçe
, Botaş Spor
and Mersin Metropolitan Municipality
. Tunçluer won the Turkish Women's Basketball League
champion title with Beşiktaş in 2005 and with Fenerbahçe İstanbul
in 2007 to 2011.

at the 2005 Mediterranean Games
