Truly, the best of the best basketball players from around the globe get a chance to play in the NBA.
Evidently, even being a role player in the NBA is sometimes equivalent to being a star in overseas leagues.
Take the example of Nick Young, who spent 12 years in the NBA.
He never even crossed the mark of 18.0 points per game throughout his career, but had he played overseas, he may have averaged more than 25.0 points per game.
Well, fans will soon find out about Young’s talent as he recently signed with the Macau Black Bears of Hong Kong, as revealed via NBACentral on Twitter.

Young joined the trend of former NBA players going to overseas leagues.
Last year, Dwight Howard became the center of attention for several media sites after signing with the Taoyuan Leopards of Taiwan.
Young last played in the NBA during the 2018-19 season for the Denver Nuggets.
He only played in four games for the Nuggets before getting cut from the team.
In those four games, Young averaged 2.3 points, 0.3 rebounds, and 0.5 assists for the team.
At the time, Young was 33 years old and was obviously out of his prime.
Now, at 38 years old, Nick Young has seemingly re-found his love for the game of basketball.
He may no longer be an NBA-level player, but he can certainly be an elite scorer in Hong Kong.
