The guys in the NBA that are making the max contracts wouldn't touch that kind of money in Europe. Guys that would be making league minimum or just a bit above it could make significantly more in Europe.

How does an overseas pro basketball contract compare with the US? 1/2, 1/3, 1/10

Jimmer is much more likely to sign a relatively fat contract in Europe compared

Wrong. Look at what his minimum would be in the NBA.

So do you think Jimmer can make 1.5 Mil in the NBA?

Taxes???

THE KlD

They don't pay any taxes.

You know those salaries are in Euros right?

slatecoug

The euro trades about even with the USD. Currently 1.10=$1.0

BlueFrog

5/22/15 9:25am

An extra 10% is not about even, plus no taxes.

What do you mean, no taxes? Are you saying the America players who play

byubyu

The released/announced amounts in Europe are after tax figures. Teams pay taxes.
