I'm not home today, out of town, so I will not be able to stream the games today.

How dare you? Why are we paying you the big bucks?

Still looking for that paycheck tbh

my guess it went something like this

- nba didn't work out for him
- he goes overseas
- finds success
- loves where he's at in life
- becomes a citizen of slovenia

also he was born in germany, he's an army brat ... dude probably has been all over the world.

He played in the Spanish league, not Slovenian. Playing for the Slovenian national team is just an additional source of income during the offseason. Many European countries naturalize players and sign them to a contract to represent their national teams. It's perverted and I'm happy my country isn't doing that and doesn't plan to.

He doesn't get paid playing for Slovenia.

Surprising, since most naturalized players get paid big bucks. Then the only other explanation is that he wanted to get an EU passport so he would have more career options in Europe since in most leagues there's only a certain amount of non-EU players allowed per team.

* 12 Roster = 7 Foreigners, 5 Domestic Players

5 Home Grown Player, (at least three years from 14 to 20 year old in one of the domestic teams)

2 Non-Europe Passport player, (mostly USA)

5 Europe & Cotonou Passport player

Officially probably not.

But what other incentive, besides money, does he have to play for them?

Does being european has benefits playing in Europe? I don't think any league has legionnaire limits only for NA players, and not for European ones.

[Rasho Brezec]

He gets EU passport which raises his value with European clubs. That's the only incentive he has.
