Why play in the IBL: The International Basketball League is a seven year professional basketball league. After the 2007 IBL season, 102 IBL players went on to play overseas—this established the IBL as the ‘place to play’ to get an overseas job or to maintain an overseas job. Playing in the IBL (mid April through July 3rd , 2011) is the best way for players to get in shape and sharpen their skills so that—the player is in the best position (video, stats and being in shape) to get or maintain an overseas job.

The IBL would like to make known the fact that although they are known as a ‘pro league’ many teams in the IBL are technically amateur teams in that they do not pay players. Some teams are nonprofit teams as well—the cost of playing on a team (if selected to a team) may fall on the player in regards to housing, food, living, etc.
