The road less traveled: Kyle Hines is a true overseas legend
While reaching the NBA is the ultimate goal for most basketball players, you can still be a successful baller even without playing in the big leagues. Just ask Kyle Hines.
Nobody has mastered the overseas route more than Fan Arch athlete Kyle Hines. The 35-year-old basketball mercenary, after all, has made a living and a career for himself away from American soil.
Kyle Hines is one of the most sought-after reinforcements abroad simply because he has the resume to back it up. After going undrafted in 2008, Kyle Hines packed his bags and began his career with Veroli in Italy. This also included stops with Brass Bambera, the Olympiacos, and a seven-year tenure with CSKA Moscow.
Kyle Hines has now found a home with Olimpia Milano. Aside from earning a living while playing the game he loves, Kyle Hines has also broadened his horizons by traveling the world through basketball. He really got the best of both worlds.
