No not really, make more though than if got a "normal" 8 to 5 job working M-F. Most probably average around 100-300K. They can't make NBA teams and can go over there and make a decent living for what they love doing and wouldn't get paid to do here in the USA.

Yes, you do make more money if you go to Europe. The NBA a few years ago to pretty recently were worrying about this. There have been a few players who have left for Europe, Josh Childress, Carlos Delfino and Earl Boykins to name a few more well-known ones. The Exchange rate of Dollars to Euros is what brings people there I assume, and of course the new surrounding. According to an article on ESPN european stars can get paid around $50 million a year! Childress, who I mentioned earlier signed with a Greece team for $20 million a year. Now in the NBA you have to be a MJ Prodigy to make that kind of amount! Aded a few articles and a question to help you out.

its just like the USA the better you are the more money you are paid now if you want to come back to america with that money its not worth because even though the dollar is higher over there to actually get the money to the USA costs money so you really wouldnt be getting much in return
