@@NorlanRivera-t8i Brujos typically does have open tryouts! But they are in- season right now so they won’t be happening for a while. I believe Tecla may have had some too. When are you going?

@@jerrychen2302 he went to a d3??

No I'm joking

@@jerrychen2302 ohhh. I thought it was a part of his history I never knew or something before he went to UNC lol.

@@peytonmclaurin EuroProBasket has the best reputation in the game. It is expensive though.

@@wl6020 there’s a ton of people who have failed to make it the league! And yeah there basically is a certain age or point in your career where it’s no long we realistic. Unfortunately I think that number is much earlier now since the NBA has gotten so much younger.

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.

@@TheRealTruth533 will do my man! 💪

@@IceManLikeGervin obscure leagues for the underdog!

@@N8daGr81991 appreciate that bro! Get it done and send it out!

@@suleiman1520 fascinating stuff to know and it’s a beginner league!

😂 cause you’re amazing

Fascinating indeed! As someone who has only watched the NBA I’d love to learn more about the local legends in other countries who are hyper talented but no one recognizes!

@@suleiman1520 yessir! There are many worldwide!

@@LeoRicardi appreciate that brother!

@@raghavnarasimhan4703 yes. Very physical league. But a bit more of team ball but still the same in the end. Get buckets out there.

Thank you Jose. I appreciate your reply 🙏🏽it didn’t go super well for him In Venezuela so hopefully better here !

@@raghavnarasimhan4703 both strong leagues!

All gas no breaks!!

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.

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.

Learn as much as you can and try to piece something together that works for you!

Thank you!

Keep on that grind! Keep improving.

Thank you! And absolutely!

@@leejizzle4793 correct. Mainly lower-levels. The highest competition I played in was Champions League Americas.

🤣🤣🤣 He doesn't want to hear none of what I got to say.

@@onlyone23km the NBL is one of the best overseas leagues in the world. The NBL1 is also quite strong but much more attainable to the average player.

Do you recommend that I try to make my way to that league at this moment, since it’s more attainable to the average player or where do you recommend I try to start?

NBL1 you will also need a strong resume though. Don't get me wrong. If you have no competitive playing experience then I'd recommend places like Germany (Oberliga, RL1/2) to get started.

I used to live in Germany and have some thoughts of going back to play there.

@@onlyone23km outstanding. They have 11 divisions. Deepest country in Europe for divisions.

@@terrencedurham7580 yessir!!

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.

@@bourgeoiszoure6576 I don’t believe they do but Denmark does!

We can't run from the fact that the game will stop one day. And it'll likely be sooner than we want. We have to be proactive and prepare beforehand.

@@XYZ_55 full rides? At the time I played (2010-2014) - there was no such thing as a full ride. I am 1000% sure about that. There were partial scholarships though. Today, I believe it has evolved but even then I don’t think student-athletes can get full rides like the NCAA. Do you have a link so I can read more?

@@bball3048mm they gave us plenty of smackings! I think that team had 3-4 guys go pro. A few went to the G-League including their leading scorer.

@@onlyone23km well said. Different perspectives to look at anything in life.

I think the biggest thing could be injury worries. A D1 athlete has a lot more to lose such as a loss of reputation or an injury that could set them back.

@@HusseinHussein-c3c Especially if you aren't used to playing in some of theses conditions - then injuries could be a big concern. Great point.

Thank you. I need to make one exclusively dedicated to that topic. Super important!

Yessir! Another great example is CJ McCollum's brother - Errick. He went NAIA and played in some of the top Europe's top leagues.

Yes! There are definitely two sides to the coin.

Semi-Pro experience could definitely help in your case to help elevate your profile or you could also relocate to another country and try that path. But of course that takes much more of a time commitment.

I’m trying to see if there’s any teams in my city that have a team in other leagues outside of the ABA.

@@onlyone23km yeah. Good plan. ABA can be a bit wacky due to the rules. There are even some semi-pro leagues that have direct connections to certain overseas markets. Those ones are ideal.

The sad part about where I live is that all semi pro or entry level pro teams in my city are currently inactive in some form or another. But I have a friend trying to change all that with his own league and our mutual friend is coaching an NBL-US team where max age limit is 26 and I’m 31. And there’s a pro player who’s well known in my city who has a bit of G League experience and owns a league with a team in our city, but he’s hard to reach. So figuring out a strategy is going to be interesting to say the least.

@@onlyone23km where are you currently located?

Can you teach me?

to weld? or to play basketball?

@@Rapdurrrr np. Thanks for watching!

@@IceManLikeGervin definitely. Even many CCAA guys have gone on to play pro hoops! That lets you know it’s possible from every level.
