Why Do Injury-Prone NBA Players Stay Healthy Playing Overseas?

Ric and Boki discuss the start of the EuroLeague season and the impact of its expanded schedule. They highlight that while EuroLeague now has more games and teams, every matchup still carries weight, though the grind of overlapping domestic and international play creates challenges. They also discuss how the faster pace, player health, and team practices differ between leagues, including why some former NBA players like Jabari Parker and Kendrick Nunn are thriving overseas. They also debate rule changes, like the step-back and Eurostep, and how evolving officiating has shaped styles of play. Ric shares his picks for international NBA players poised to surprise this season—Franz Wagner, Tristan De Silva, Zachary Rissacher, Matas Buzelis, and Neemias Queta—while Boki reflects on his own development experiences, offseason training in Slovenia, and how cultural and structural differences shape careers.
