What do you think about playing overseas?

Question

So many players in todays game who dont make the NBA play over seas.What do you think about it and would you play overseas.You gotta remember all your family and friends you'd be leaving back home.Im just seeing what everyone thinks.

Answer 1

its mostly about the money. players would get payed better overseas anyways. its also good for basketball because it exposes it in many places and globalizes the sport.

Answer 2

Personally, I would only go overseas if I had a chance of playing in the NBA at some point. If there was no chance of making the NBA I wouldn't do it because my family and friends are here and besides I wouldn't be in my country. I wouldn't be able to enjoy the things the United states offers. Sure I'd be making money, but it's not like you can just move away.

It paid off for JR Holden, he would have to take a pay cut to play in the NBA according to the commetators in tonites game against Russia.  He is considered one of the best point guards in Europe.  You can always come back to the US in the offseason.

lol, a Greek team is gonna try and sign LeBron in 2010. He would average like 50 ppg over there. No way he's gonna do it, but it would be funny to see. There would be huge problems if that happened.
