extremely well said rmq

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

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.

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.

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.

And Patrick Dangerfield will be returning to Adelaide next year... when the Pies play the Crows at Adelaide oval.
