money isn't there. some low level foreign players can make more at home than here, but that's because they'd be league minimum deals as NBA players.

also, you have the tax issues and the problem with whether or not you'll get paid (which is a real issue in some foreign leagues), plus, lebron's marketing value would go to sh*t overnight back in the US, and i doubt greece can match his endorsement money...

i mean, when jordan left his endorsements paid him a lot more than the NBA did.

so, in short, nothing to worry about.
