The level of basketball in China doesn’t claim laurels of quality, neither on a national level nor on a club level, but the list of players choosing to leave the NBA or Europe to play in the Asian country is getting longer all the time.
There are several reasons for this. If we had to choose two, then certainly the (very) high earnings, combined with the reduced requirements compared to the EuroLeague, would certainly stand out.
