One of the people badly injured in the Brussels terror attacks this morning is a former college basketball player who turned pro in Europe ... who just underwent emergency surgery after badly injuring his leg in the blast.
Images of Sebastien Bellin laying on the ground at the airport went viral -- his leg twisted and bleeding from the explosion.
37-year-old Bellin played college basketball at Oakland University in Michigan from '96 to '00 before heading to Europe where he's been playing pro ball ever since. He's currently a member of BC Telenet Oostende, a pro team in Belgium.
