SIAP.


quote:

Two years after his prolific shooting and trash-talking, jersey-popping, renegade attitude made him one of college basketball's most electrifying – and polarizing – players, Marshall Henderson now leads a much more humble professional existence.

In Baghdad, Iraq, of all places.

Henderson plays in the Iraqi Super League. The former Ole Miss star hears gunshots from time to time in the city. He doesn't leave his Baghdad hotel too often, where working electricity can be a daily challenge. And there are rarely female spectators in the stands at his games.

Henderson is about as far away from his NBA dream as possible, and yet he finds himself in a much better place personally while playing in Iraq.

He's going to Allahu Akbar himself out of sheer boredom soon.

How much money would it take to entice you into playing in the Iraqi League? Maybe that should be a separate thread.

I LOL thinking of Henderson in Iraq. He can't be making much and is stuck in a shitty hotel when he's not playing. Hopefully he has sand all up in his vagina.

By day he is a basketball star and by night he fights off ISIS. Sounds like a movie to me

Probably not. And I don't have terrorists in my backyard and I have my family within driving distance. Even if he did make more than me, money isn't everything.

At least he's repping the USA hardcore. He got a few cool points for that.
