[QUOTE="Obelix, post: 1318539, member: 7292"] That's not true. The range is much larger and actually it is just the top players in Euroleague who get the $1M-$3M per year, not just the top players in Turkey. Brandon is not in that group. Most of the top players in Euroleague are non-Americans, this year, the only who American made it to Euroleague first-team selection was Ekpe Udoh of Euroleague Champions Fener. Brandon had a so-so year with Efes, and so did James Augustine who is still playing for one of the best teams (CSKA) even at this late stage in his career. (Augie is one of the few players who was considered top-30, maybe not this past year, but in previous, younger, years). The days that Americans where just going oversees in Europe and making millions are gone. It is just a myth. The local competition has increased tremendously, evident by the influx of international player in the NBA. You now have to be very good to make it to one of the Euroleague teams, and still not a guarantee that you will make millions. [/QUOTE]
