Jose, do a video on overseas players who played in college, whats the percentage of them think that if they play longer, practice, do they think they can still make the nba? Im sure some players still play for little money to hopefully improve their game, if they quit and work a normal job, they have no shot of the nba anymore, and all of their talents go to waste. There has to be a point where no matter how hard you practice , you can never make the nba, even if you have nba size for your position, and played d1

Well as a 5'6 unatheltic guy, i still had nba dreams in high school even though i never came close to making it to jv. I had dreams where i grow a foot and magically can shoot. Jamario moon came into the league at 26, but do overseas players still think they can improve, and make it to the nba at 35? I mean there is a certain amount of length in a runway, but if i was an overseas player i might think if i keep on practicing, i might shoot like steph curry. My prime was in high school, i practiced and played basketball in my 20's. Never got any better.

@@wl6020 Nah - I would say after 30-32 most players know they won't make the NBA. At that point they are either playing for the 1. Love of the game 2. Paycheque or 3. Don't know anything else in life. There's nothing wrong with playing well into your 30s as a player though. At the end of the day, you're hooping and getting paid to play a game. Doesn't get much better than that.
Thats 100% true. I know a lot of multi year oversea pros from d3 colleges. Most famous could be Andy Panko (Lebanon Valley), who was ACB top scorer and with Panathinaikos for a while...

Yessir! Another great example is CJ McCollum's brother - Errick. He went NAIA and played in some of the top Europe's top leagues.
If a d1 player made more money in college, and after graduation, they have a choice of working a normal job, or playing overseas making 700 a month but its good money at that country, its still getting paid for playing a game you love.

I feel you and many guys definitely still do that. Another side of this I forgot to mention was how those D1 guys could use that NIL money to help start/propel their overseas careers. For instance, they'll have more in the reserve to get themselves started overseas if they're struggling to begin with.
Everthing you are saying happens when you have terrible representation and you are really discounting the mental of a D1 player

Many players don't even have representation to begin with lol. But I've also seen this happen plenty with people who were also represented. It provides some safeguarding but it is not absolute.
Jose you have the most informative and engaging basketball podcast on RUclips. It's a plesure to listen and learn from you. Best basketball podcast going.
There actually are athletic scholarships at canadian universities. Not sure where you are getting that information from.

This is not every ones reality this guy must have played at a real low level league ?????? This is not true with the guys I work with places like 2nd level France and Italy pay 50 to 100000 a year 5 to 10000 a month

And they're all small-college players (D2,D3, NAIA)? Were they all rookies or how long had they been playing to get to that level? Did anyone of them have an EU passport? Any higher-level league will pay well above what I'm mentioning here. I believe I mentioned that.
