So another NBA player has left the league and join another. Lance Stephenson will be joining the Chinese Basketball Association. The guy must have thought it's better to get paid more than chasing a NBA title and get paid less.

I guess this is going to be on trend and other players that doesn't see some good opportunity within the league will also move to other continents to be adopted by their local basketball league. They have family to feed and the exposure they are getting is lesser than what they used to get on other leagues. Good for him, this will also consider that Jeremy Lin is looking forward to go with the CBA.

For Jeremy if he still loves the game then working with CBA will be fitted for him, showing his talents from his local fans will add the adrenalin for him if he still really wanted to try to comeback or if he still wants to continue playing, he's not getting any younger so this options will gives enough time for him to continue practicing his skills and seek for another opportunities being eyed by scouts bringing him back to NBA.

An athlete would always be an athlete and his passion for the league will never be gone. But the league itself isn't giving him more opportunity so its time for him to look for that opportunity somewhere.
And on his case, since he's a Chinese, the CBA would be glad to adopt him and for sure that he's going to be taken care of the association. Another thing is if he has family living there, he's in his home town.
