Didn’t realize he was still playing. I have major respect for guys like Deon and Jawad Williams that carve out long runs in international leagues. It’s obviously not the NBA, but you can still make a good living and have a very respectable professional career that way. Just takes a ton of dedication and sacrifice to live that way. Great way to see different parts of the world and immerse yourself in different cultures though.
