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.

"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.
