I never said once that Americans were the best or even anything about the Euro-league. To support your own facts, you limited "playing overseas" to Euro-league. Making millions overseas, and I assumed overseas meant anywhere you had to cross a sea to get to, includes Russian and Slovakian leagues, as well as the leagues in Iraq. Granted the ones in Iraq only pay as much as $20k a month, so you have to play a few years to make your first million ( I'm sure you made your first much quicker) Going overseas, to most of us old timers was not meant for the good players, it was meant for the ones who still wanted to play basketball and make good money. I don't remember anyone going, f the NBA, I'm going to Europe. That said, there are some Division three players making really good money there, I daresay they have made millions- no not Lebron money, but they continue to play a game they love and make better than the average American slugging away at home. In Russia, they pay really well as they do in China etc. All the rest that you toss in about taxes etc were not in question. One quote from a coach is that having Americans on the team adds valuable role model of basketball behaviors, outside the box thinking, and "stories" of American basketball. So, you can continue to argue with me, but I contend my statements, in the context that I made them are factual. Most of the people playing overseas are relegated to that role because they aren't NBA material. I liken the facts much like how Australia hired American cowboys to work in Australia to bring the heritage and the lore of "Cowboying" to life. Considering a Division 3 player has a free house, maids, a car provided by the company that sponsors his team etc. and earns millions.... I would consider that not a bad life, and not a myth. Again, feel free to believe what you wish, or limit overseas to Europe...
