Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 3130248, member: 7511"] This is simply a marketplace issue. If American WBB players want to make money, they have to travel overseas. The same thing is true for top US soccer players, track & field athletes, cyclists and other sports as well. From an international perspective, in MBB, baseball, golf, etc. the big money is in the US. I don’t see this situation changing anytime soon. The bigger concern is playing b-ball year round. There is no down time to rest and strengthen tired muscles and joints. This isn’t just a problem at the pro level. Young basketball players like Azzi Fudd complete their HS season and then immediately start playing in 3x3 tournaments, summer AAU and for USA basketball. It’s a wonder there aren’t more injuries.
