Stop trying to play in every Overseas league. Instead, be specific and pinpoint your ideal landing spot: - Playing style that suits you - Teams that recruit your profile - Somewhere you have some connects - You speak the language Try to align as many as possible.

Outside the NBA, Europe has the best competition in the world. Surprisingly - it may also be one the easiest regions to get into. Elite competition at the top. But tons of divisions & beginner leagues at the bottom.

Overseas Basketball league salaries is some of the hardest info to find. Why? - Few leagues publish it - Few leagues have player unions - Many players lie or won’t tell - Under-the-table deals happen So everything you hear is an estimation. Nothing is exact.

First EuroLeague game at 32. A late bloomer? Maybe. But this has always been one of my biggest goals. People ask me why it’s my first time… it’s hard to explain. My career wasn’t always stable. I spent years trying to find myself on the court, to figure out how I wanted to play, who I wanted to be as a player. At some point, I stopped waiting for opportunities to find me… I started to HUNT them. Because I was hungry. Still am. WNBA rookie at 31. EuroLeague debut at 32. My journey is mine, AND I wouldn’t change a thing. To everyone out there chasing something: follow your own speed. Don’t compare your path to anyone else’s. Work hard. Stay hungry. If you want it bad enough, the opportunity will come. Trust me. 💫

Load management doesn’t exist in Overseas Basketball. You play tired. You play hurt. You play often. Or you get sent home.

Feeling lost in your post-playing career? Coach. It’s the simplest & easiest way to get back on your feet. Some fall in love with it. Others don’t. But at least it’s something you’re familiar with until you find your true calling post hooping.

By the time a player realizes his coach was right, he has a skills trainer who says he was wrong.

Some European players are changing course. Instead of the traditional Europe to the NBA path, it’s now: Europe —> NCAA —>NBA The craziest thing? Many are coming from powerhouse European clubs and then going to the NCAA. Example: 🇷🇺 Egor Dëmin Real Madrid—> BYU—> Nets

In 2016, I was nearly two years removed from playing college ball. But a Pro team was still interested. So I did Semi-Pro to prove I still had it. We barely had enough players. And almost no one showed up. But I got film. Four games later - I signed Overseas.
