Mike Hall: If you make less than 40k, you're a basketball intern

American forward Mike Hall is used to express his opinions on Twitter.
Hall, who has ended last season in Italian Serie A2 Gold with Tezenis Verona, wrote some tweets about the American players who decided to sign overseas for less than $40k per season. Mike Hall is still free agent.

Guys really kissed their families goodbye, packed up, and flew 5000 miles to hoop for 20k? Same tax bracket as a McDonalds employee fam...

Overseas hoopers, the point Im trying to make is this life is only worth it if you can "retire" with 6 figures. If not, you're wasting time

Because your competition in the real world will have had a 5-10 year head start. Nobody wants a 35 year old intern. Plan ahead fam

Lets do the monthly math: 1000 for food, 150 for phone bill, 150 for shoes to play in, 150 to go out so you don't lose your mind...

So you're coming home with 4-5k in the bank (assuming you got all your money), you living with your parents and taking the bus???

The point of this rant is there are countries without the prestige of EU that are paying big bucks but your agent might not tell you about..
