Adam Ballinger knew he didn't have a shot at NBA superstardom but rather than toil in obscurity in the United States he took off for Australia and it's professional basketball league.
Sure he's not LeBron or Kobe but playing at the top level of any country's league, even Australia, has to be more enjoyable than playing in the D-League in front of the 18 people in Idaho willing to brave the cold to come to a game.
Not every overseas location is glamorous but not many leagues outside of the NBA are. College players should wise up a realize that a steady paycheck playing basketball isn't hard to attain if you're willing to put in the work and live abroad.
