NBA Players Are Flocking Overseas For The Lockout, But Which Countries Should They Ball For? (PHOTOS)

Many of the NBA's finest are starting to realize that this lockout is not going to end in the near future and are weighing their options to ball it up overseas.

Recently, big names such as Kevin Durant, Dwyane Wade, Ron Artest, Deron Williams and many other notable stars are becoming interested or have already signed to play outside of their time zone.

Most players do not want to wait for the season to start, if it ever does and they want to get their legs moving.

Whether it's their fan bases, their family, their heritage, or just their inkling to try the native cuisine, we have the best places for our favorite NBA ballers.

Check out which countries we think would be best for some of the greatest!

This would be a great move to just relax and maybe visit the Eiffel Tower when it's not a gameday. Also, he can work on his relatively slender physique and find new strength under the tower's shadow.
