In the wake of the 1992 Barcelona Summer Olympic Games, bas- ketball experienced a surge in popularity as an international sport. Recently, to field more competitive teams, professional leagues around the world have begun to recruit international players, par- ticularly those from the United States (U.S.). Though most leagues still maintain strict caps on the number of players from a single country on a roster, the Turkey Basketball Federation (TBF) recently altered its rules to permit more international players, presenting American players greater opportunities to pursue a lucrative play- ing career in Turkey. Given the change in labor market characteris- tics, this paper examines the 102 U.S. players on 2017–2018 Turkey professional basketball rosters. Descriptive statistics for collegiate performance are presented, as well as logistic regression and net- work analyses that indicate players’ college choice was a crucial factor in their international professional career trajectory with colle- giate conference acting as a bridge to a professional career in Turkey. These results provide context for researchers and practi- tioners in understanding the player statistics, social and cultural forces related to U.S.-professional basketball players in Turkey.
