Mika gone

I don't blame him. No sense in staying in college when you are as old as him. Yes he would improve with one more year in college, but the pros already bake that in when they decide to choose him or not.

He either feels like he has a great chance of making an NBA roster, or he feels that signing in Europe/China is also better than another year in college, or he just flippin' doesn't care to play in college anymore.

He's no pro player, at least not stateside. Now, he will be a journeyman with no degree having to live off Daddy's money at Sorenson Capital.

As was predicted. He will end up working for Sorenson Capital in a while and worth millions doing it the old fashioned, he'll inherit it.

So Mika, the man who would be an NBA king, signs as an unheralded rookie for a small Italian team in a small Italian town.

He's a unheralded rookie on a small team in a small town. He won't earn much.

Also:

Quote:

"In Italy, teams tend to be unreliable. A lot of people have left without receiving all of their salary. Also, not being paid on time is common. If you get hurt, you are not guaranteed that you will get all of your salary or that the team will take care of you. This depends on the team and your status on the team."

It doesn't look as if Mika thought this out very well, especially since he declared his dream to play in the NBA.
