Interesting perspective... Kinda Darko in reverse.

I'm sure that if you surveyed the board... a high % would love to trade places with John Celestand to play basketball for a living and make six figures.

I'm sure if you asked Rickey Paulding who grew up in one of Detroit's toughest hoods (Highland Park) the Euro experience wasn't so bad...
it beats getting your ass handed to you cause you were wearing the wrong colors.... just another perspective of Americans having it tough.

BTW, I don't think Rickey has been picked up in Europe yet after being released by the Kings.
