    Any posters ever played professional Basketball on any level?

    My dream has come true. I made a Vietnamese professional basketball team. Eddy Curry played here a few years ago for 8 months. It is a very competitive sport here.

    I’ll be making $850 a game. But I don’t care about the money. I’m actually donating to a Vietnamese charity. I just want the experience for one year.

    It’s a very competitive league here. I’ve been playing my whole life. I was sidelined for 14 years with my knees. I’m in pain daily but I’ve worked hard my whole life. I didn’t think I made it but I did. I feel very blessed and the charity I am donating to is thrilled beyond belief.

    I didn’t make a team in the VBA. A lower league but still professional. There are lines for our games with the local Vietnamese books.

    Absolutely not. Eddy Curry played in my league. Lots of college players have played in the league. Each team has two foreigners. It’s very competitive and all the games are on Tv here and in China.
