I'd rather play against the best competition in the world, and have a shot at the NBA championship. Also, assuming I didn't get to pick the city, there are a lot of places in Europe I don't think I'd be comfortable living, whereas I think I could adapt fairly easily to anywhere in the U.S.
When you say the best competition in the world I'd think that means the Olympics actually and you don't get paid for that. I think we sort of define best competition differently than the Euros. I mean if Brandon Jennings isn't significant over there and his team wins a lot of games, then he looks like the next Lebron here, and his team wins no games I'm not sure that leads me to think we have the best competition in the world here, actually.
After seeing how our teams did against theirs in the preseason maybe I would, but I'm just not sure the NBA automatically has the best competition in the world just because it's the NBA. The world baseball classic is another example of that. Granted there's a lot of MLB talent there, but still. Also I'm not sure about hockey.
I might rather play with better talent too. You could play with a very good Euro team or with a horrid NBA team like Sacramento.
In fact just think of it that way. You can play in Sacramento, Milwaukee, Oklahoma City, or Rome, Vilnius, Barcelona, Madrid, or Moscow for more money.
