October 3, 201411 yr If we're playing the "best to ever" come from KY, I think that conversation starts and ends with Dave Cowens. To the actual topic though. Pittman is pretty good, but like many others have said, as long as he stays with his current circle; his basketball career in the U.S. won't go far.

January 19, 201511 yr ShamSports.com: Elijah Pittman player profile Playoff basketball in Casablanca. Wow. Edited January 19, 201511 yr by paNDA
January 19, 201511 yr dang I'm not sure what I just watched.. Sort of a cross between soccer and basketball. If that's the road to the NBA he better pack extra underwear it's going to be a long trip..... On a serious note... I hope he can make some $$$$ before his window to play closes. I love seeing these videos of overseas ball. They each have there own flavor, this one was very unique. thanks for the link!!!!
January 20, 201511 yr Interesting video. The action in the stands seems to have nothing to do with the action on the court. Not only that, the action on the court seems dull by comparison.

January 20, 201511 yr Hoop games are a bit different overseas. The Colonel Crazies were probably on his mind during the game. No Blue Hairs allowed.

January 21, 201511 yr I wonder where he would be without basketball? And I don't mean that to take away anything, but the good ones are smart enough and balanced enough to have a life when they are done with basketball.
January 21, 201511 yr Author I was told last night that Eli is making pretty good money overseas and enjoying himself. I assume he will play in the summer/D-League when he comes back to the states and continue to try to get in the NBA. No doubt he has the ability...just needs the right mindset. On a side note...things get so intense over there, there are some gyms that have a glass wall around them like the hockey rinks to keep fans from coming on to the court.
January 22, 201511 yr Salaries in the D-League range from $12,000 to $24,000, which is less than your average grocery store clerk makes. Not ideal. Shiloh said the average U.S. player overseas — most European countries limit teams to two or three American players per roster — can make anywhere from $2,000 to $20,000 a month. Elite players can pull a seven-figure pay check.
