When you cross the ocean and play in different parts of the world you are normally introduced to different cultures, sports and other activities. If you are a person who likes to see new things living and playing basketball overseas is your cup of tea. Playing in Europe has allowed me to see many different sports and how they are played different in each country. Many sport competitions in the [...]

I’m really excited to watch the Olympic basketball games in a few weeks. After watching the US Mens Basketball Team play against Team Canada, I could see that they are strong. However, I’m doubting their inside play against the more bigger international teams like, Argentina, Spain, China and Germany. There is no question the guards are ready and the hot shooters. I recommend everyone tuning [...]

I have no college playing experience but am a good player. Are there any avenues i can take to get a tryout. Even at the lowest levels?

If you saw the 2008 NBA Championship you know what I’m talking about! , from the Celtics: Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen all sacrificed their top individual status in chance for a NBA Ring! This trend is not new in sports and in the NBA, I begin to notice when Karl Malone opted for a lower contract in hopes to get a ring with the L.A. Lakers back years ago. Many players are now seeing [...]

Summer is right around the corner and if you’re playing in any type of organized basketball team this summer, I’m pretty sure you have to raise money for traveling and lodging I suppose? Its been a long time since I’ve had to do any fundraising, but I sure did love doing it. I believe that I wrote an article previously of how I got started when playing AAU basketball but I won’t [...]

I received a good question from a current NCAA basktball player this week:
“I’m still playing college basketball and i wanted to knew if it’s aginst ncaa rules to go to a an overseas basketball clinic”
I honestly don’t think it is against the rules but I would highly go against it. Depending on what type of basketball clinic it is aimed to serve. Most international basketball [...]

Are you wondering how to find a good agent that fits your professional basketball goals? Well honestly before you can know you have to research and ask around from players who currently is under contract with a particular agent or ask specific questions to find it if he/she is worth signing with.
For men and women, the topic of basketball representation is a little bit different. The market for men [...]

During the summer there are many basketball camps and the latest exposure camp that I wrote about in Italy will be probably be the furthest after the annual Slammers Basketball Camp in Germany.

I recommend getting cheap airline tickets by searching one recommended low fare company around. [...]

In a recent article I’ve written about exposing yourself using online video and the FLIP video recorder, I did not go into great detail how good it is for College Recruiting as well. Even though the website is about basketball overseas, there are a great number of visitors that are in high school or outside of the USA who must play in high school before heading to college.
A recent website that [...]

Many basketball players come to the website searching for basketball tryouts in a particular state or country. In most cases there aren’t many professional basketball tryouts for overseas teams. There are several exposure camps that cater to several agents and a few teams who are local. However, most players are contracted and during the first two weeks, both the basketball player and the club [...]
