Real NBA players in Europe

We all know that wannabe-NBA players end up in Europe, but this is very interesting. Josh Childress has decided that he wants to play in Europe and now Ben Gordon (another legit NBA player) is mulling this as well.

Gordon won't rule out move to Europe

Ben Gordon won't set any artificial deadlines to get a new deal done. A restricted free agent, he could sign a one-year tender offer from the Bulls and then become an unrestricted free agent next summer. Born in England, Gordon doesn't rule out following Josh Childress' lead and signing with an overseas club. "Definitely, it's a possibility with the Euro being so strong. Josh did it. It just depends on what the individual wants or what he can put up with. I'm from London, so it's definitely something that seems like it would be interesting. But ideally I'd like to be here playing in the States for the team that drafted me."

Who knew that an ailing American economy would have such far reaching effects.
