The life of an NBA journeyman is rarely appreciated. While the ESPN promos focused on Jayson Tatum, Luka Doncic, and Jaylen Brown, Brad Wanamaker was quietly about to embark on the biggest moment of his career. As a 28-year-old rookie, his story doesn’t draw quite the interest but his sacrifice is one rarely made by a European basketball star in the middle of his prime. With sources confirming that Barcelona offered him a deal that would have paid him about 3.8 million to stay overseas, Wanamaker turned it down to play on a minimum contract ($838,464) and pursue a path to the NBA.
