During the NBA lockout there has been a number of players who have decided to go overseas. Derion Williams has been saying that he will play overseas and has had a contract handed to him by a team in Turkey. If the lockout goes longer than expected, he will play this up coming year overseas, but he will not be the only player. Kobe Bryant has also spoke about playing overseas and will do so if the lockout is longer then he expects and if the team will meet up to his salary.
Athletes are made out to be celebrities in this world and what they do can help others. Right now Chris Paul and a number of other players are in the Philippines for a charity event to help the people who are struggling. Athletes in the media are normally known for their good acts or bad acts. Being held to a higher standard and doing whats right for others, is what athletes recently are known for doing. Not only will these NBA players play together, but they will play in a different country.
