The NBA has always been a league full of players moving from team to team.
But there are even some players that move from league to league.
This means they play a few years in the NBA before heading overseas to a new league.
That is what happened with NBA veteran Willie Cauley-Stein.
He left the NBA after years of jumping from team to team without much playing time.
But there was another factor as to why Cauley-Stein decided to leave the NBA.
According to NBA Central, Cauley-Stein said, “I chose to come to Europe because of the more ‘tactical’ way of playing.”

Cauley-Stein mentioned how the NBA is a 1v1 game due to players only caring about their stats.
He believes that is not the case in Europe.
The NBA has always been seen as the best league in the world.
But it does have a different play style than other countries.
The rules are different and the players are more skilled in the NBA.
Load management has been a consistent topic in the league for many years.
That has taken a toll on many NBA fans and the league.
We have also seen the NBA try and put rules in place to stop players from “flopping.”
Regardless, the NBA continues to be must watch television for many fans across the globe.
