One of the highest salary in Europe! Lonnie Walker: Nunn brings more and more American players to Europe

Previously, Lonnie Walker returned to the European League and officially signed with Israeli giants Maccabet Tel Aviv. The contract lasts for three years and has a total value of about US$10 million, making him one of the highest paid players in Europe.

In an interview, Walker said that the experience of former Lakers teammate Nunn has brought more and more American players to the European League.

"The real beginning of this all comes from Kendrick Nunn, who is one of the pioneers in this field. He makes Americans feel or see it more comfortable to come here, and he proves that it is possible," Walker said. "A player like this is like a domino effect, and I am the next one. There are more and more players, especially American players, who want to come here. So, I try my best to answer everyone's questions and let them understand the difference between the NBA and the European Basketball League."

Nunn was elected the European Basketball League MVP last season. In March this year, he signed a three-year 13.5 million euro (about $14.8 million) contract extension with Panasinakos, becoming the highest-paid player in Europe (later surpassed by Misic).
