[QUOTE="Techster, post: 231809, member: 360"] This. NBA isn't the end all be all of "pro" basketball. It's just the League if you want to play at the highest levels and make a f-you money. It's like soccer players...if you want to make a lot of money and compete at the highest levels, you go to Europe. There's a LOT of leagues around the world that pay pretty well. My buddy from HS had a brother that played at Mercer. I think he was top 10 in rebounding his senior year, and didn't get a sniff at the NBA. An Australian team signed him to a 3 year contract making $150K a year and $80K signing bonus. Not a lot of $$$ in NBA terms, but a pretty nice living if you're just out of college for about 7 months of work every year. That was like 15 years ago, so I would assume the pay is much nicer now.
