That’s a great move by that league to cater to the OAD’s who’d rather not play the charade of student-athlete for 6+ months.
Let’s see; Play w/ pros, collect a paycheck, & see the world. Vs- fake go to 8:30 class in Lawrence KS. Hmmm...

If I had to pick a non-US country to live in, New Zealand is that country. Worked with a guy from there. He said the weather is basically perfect year round, golf courses a plenty, practically no poisonous animals, English is the primary language. Checks all the boxes for me.

I could adapt. I was able to adapt to the psychotic things Rochestarians say, like calling soda, “pop”

Holy crap. Yeah, i forgot about the generic term "coke" for any soda. That used to peeve me. It's not like Kleenex, where no one ever offers you a choice. Now that we're thinking about this, though, if i had come from 'the sticks' and heard someone say "soda," it might sound like "seltzer" to me, too. Still, this looks like an Electoral College map, and i'll stick with the Northeast and Cali way.

I know a guy who says the same thing about Syracuse, NY. His name rhymes with Shmeheim.

A good decision for him - I'm curious what made him choose New Zealand over higher profile European leagues. I"m guessing he had options. Does anyone know much about the NBL?
That didn’t age well... grimes and Dotson both coming back

It might be coincidental (and I admittedly don't know what their roster situation is in terms of needs/spots available) but it's pretty funny to look at their class this year compared to all the years prior now that the curtain got pulled back on their Adidas plug.
