If you’re playing the game of basketball your goals should be 1. NBA 2. Euroleague 3. CBA (China). Let me break it down for you.
.
The NBA is the biggest league in the world. You get the biggest contracts and the best competition. American players we grow up watching the NBA we don’t pay attention to other leagues. This is where you should want to be. Your close to your family, there isn’t much adjustment, and you can live your dream.
.
The Euroleague in my opinion is the second biggest basketball league in the world. You can make anywhere from 200k to a couple if millions per year playing in the euroleague according to my friends that played there. This should be a fall back plan (plan b). It’s the 2nd fastest way to get in the NBA. First is the NBA-Gleague. There’s a big misconception about the euroleague. Many people back home think that anyone playing in Europe is in the Euroleague. This is false. Most players are playing in Europe not the Euroleague. The Euroleague is the champions of the best European national domestic leagues, along with some of the other biggest teams from the most important national domestic leagues, playing in a true European-wide league system format. Most are in big cities. This is a good alternative to the NBA cause the competition is high and you get to see some of the worlds most beautiful places while getting paid a good amount of money.

The CBA (Chinese Basketball Association) is amazing to me. It’s the top league in China. From what I’m told the season is only 5 months and players are making the same amount of money maybe more than euroleague players. Less time same money sounds amazing. Lifestyle might not be as good as the Euroleague but you getting paid a pretty hefty amount for so little of time. The CBA normally take ex NBA players, or high level european players. It’s hard to get in the CBA without having a very impressive resume. Im not sure of the competition because I see many guy’s scoring 60pts on the regular curious to understand how. It’s a great place to market your brand and since the season ends so fast you can try to sign another NBA deal.
.
All that said strive to be the best and play on the highest level. If not there are many other ways to continue your passion. I just wanted to give you some game before some agent or person that never played anywhere give you some BS. Everyday••••#makempay
