Overseas basketball salaries are the most commonly searched topic in professional basketball.
And I get it, it makes sense.
Every player wants to know what country and leagues pay the most in pro basketball and where they should be heading when it comes time to turn professional.
But if you aren’t a high-profile and highly recruited player then the options can be few and far between.
And the starting basketball salaries for those type of players?
Even more humbling.
In this video, I break down what I’ve learned from surveying, interviewing and speaking with hundreds of professional basketball players, coaches and agents over the years.
We’ll learn what the starting salary is in overseas basketball for rookies and more importantly how players can increase and maintain a long-playing career with this NEW DATA.
My mission is to help players achieve their dreams of overseas basketball. I've helped players get signed in all seven continents ranging from those with only high school experience to NCAA athletes.

An example that can support Jose Colorado's point of view with some perspective, in Israel, whose league is regarded middle of the road among European Leagues, top division teams rarely consider bringing foreign rookies. I recall a single exception to this who started out with around $60k on his first contract, but came with a resume as a prolific scorer with 4 years of experience on a top div 1 NCAA team who was a late cut from an NBA summer league camp, so in essence someone just short of being accepted to an NBA roster that could have played in the G-league. The gamble ended up paying off as he was named league MVP and ended up with a contract to play for Maccabi in the Euroleague the next year for around $250,000. In other words, the talent was there for him to rise rapidly to the upper echelon of European ball. He even made it to the NBA for a short span at one point. Typical Div 2 or 3 players fresh out of college are valued as role players with talent levels comparable to the locals - a fair judgment in most circumstances. They normally begin in division 2, but only if they are eligible for an Israeli passport to play as locals. I listened to a podcast with such a player who claimed that on his 1st year he earned $700 per month net, plus lodging, meals, and a vehicle that he shared with a teammate.

@edvardsrdic5642 3 года назад

In Slovenia that is a fact in first division. For some time, ambitious clubs in Slovenia that play continuously in the international or regional cups (Krka or Cedevita Olimpija) do not even try to sign rookies direct from NCAA unless the have know some personal background (Aloyisus Anagonye who came to Olimpija in 2003, for example, was teammate with former official Radovan Lorbek son, Erazem Lorbek in Michigan State) from them. That were words from one assistant coach from Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana. Even in some of that exceptional cases, player can get signed for a small amount and loaned to some other slovenian club in first division. Just to see if he can "survive" in a new enviroment. Teams that play only first slovenian division, they are different story, they sign rookies for probably the same amount that you mentioned here - in minimum scenario. But you have to understand the situation, because giving opportunity is a risky move for a low budget level clubs too. But sometimes these players do not last in slovenian legue for long, because whenever they find their game better contract appears, they are gone to Belgium, Turkish second division, Germany etc. It is probably same in Bosnia, Croatia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Serbia

3 года назад

Great info. Thanks for sharing. Yeah, especially for imports and foreigners it's a serious investment for these lower-budget clubs even if their salary is low because they have to pay for their housing, VISA, transportation etc. It's not just the salary as people think.

@gothicgolem2947 2 года назад

BTW i found out some short players have gone pro so yeah I wasn’t saying it ina. Offensive way I think height gives an advantage but some have managed to win without it

2 года назад

Height is a definite advantage but many players are able to get past that with supreme skill and athleticism.

Great story I have seen stories of many players expecting to make 800k or high six figure salaries when in reality they will barely make 700 a month this is real eye opener and all of the hype about overseas basketball isn’t what people think it is.

Hey! I just wanted to know if we get a salary of less than 1k a month, will they usually provide like food and shelter? I'll be in Europe for a camp next month man, so your response would be very helpful. Thanks.

2 года назад

That will really depend on the league and team. As a general rule, shelter will - and should - almost always be covered. Food will vary. I've seen lower-level leagues only cover partial food expenses. That would look like five meals a week or maybe two meals a day are covered. Others cover it completely. Whenever you can try to get it completely covered, of course.

Yes, of course! Some countries/regions will actually look for quicker players (usually end up being smaller) since their demographics don't usually produce them.

So how long does it take for a avarege player to start making like 100k or more

2 года назад

Depends on the level of the player. Some start off making 100k right out of college. Those are high level NCAA guys. The vast majority will never make 100k playing overseas.

If you are playing at a mid-low tier level then usually you will be responsible for reporting your own income to the government. Higher-tier teams/levels will be more formalized. Here's a quick read if interested: www.josecolorado.com/blog/do-overseas-basketball-players-pay-taxes

My previous question about short people is nothing against them it’s just I’ve been told before everyone is tall and you can be too short to do it so I’m not sure if in some pro leagues you can or whAt

No. There are definitely shorter players in many leagues. There are players of all heights in all sorts of leagues. Of course, teams love height and length though.

Wban players cry about making 70k a year where D1 high top teir guys make that when they the best players on the overseas teams Or some average overseas guy making 500$ a game sad

Год назад

I think the bigger concern for women is female hoopers are paid more overseas than in the WNBA. So it's the opposite in women's basketball. Yet, the WNBA is clearly the best level of basketball in the world for them. The majority of WNBA players are also American and they want to stay home. They're in the top 1% of their profession so they've earned that right. As for men, yes - it is no joke! You better LOVE this game with every inch of your soul or you will be out soon.
