I think its great that he has interest in coming back to Aus for a visit,very few imports ever seem to do this and seem to have kept some sort of connection with the NBL once they have moved on to other leagues.

He has only come back to Australia to search for his All-NBL 1st team award that he threw away.

He's being paid to come back - it's a promo tour.

Not many NBL players go from first year pro to legit NBA player in one season.

He was an NBA quality player who played NBL for the money. Please don't for a second think the NBL developed him into the player he is. Miami wanted to sign him but didn't have room. D-League salary is 9k and he wanted to help his family so he signed here.

Who is paying him to come over?

Who's paying for him? Sponsors, Promoters, Wildcats. He has an agent and appearance fee.

Regardless of what the situation was with him playing in the NBL instead of the D-league - the NBL and Wildcats need "hooks" to sell. And the fact remains he went straight from college to the NBL to the best dunk of the year in the NBA. That's something you can market.

Die hards know the real story of why he played NBL, but die hards don't keep the NBL afloat.

Why does it matter who is paying for his trip?

Why does it matter that he's getting paid as well? Its part of his job isn't it?
