Unless your name is <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/udonis-haslem-and-the-nba-players-who-have-playedat-least-20-seasons-with-only-one-franchise-20220821-0017.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Udonis Haslem,</a> </strong>there are no guarantees in this league, and you have to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/miami-heat-udonis-haslem-opens-up-on-his-role-in-heatles-era-with-lebron-wade-bosh-20211027-0032.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>work your heart off </strong></a>and outplay thousands of hoopers to be there.</p>
<p>That’s why some players struggle to stay in the league for long. They go back and forth with short stints and then play overseas, as some <strong>European and Asian tournaments </strong>are better suited for their game.</p>
<p>Still, some of them come back right in time for the season or even ahead of the playoffs. With that in mind, let’s take a look at three<strong> NBA <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/25-memorable-sports-stars-who-retired-and-then-came-back-20220317-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">comeback candidates</a></strong> currently playing in Europe or China.</p>

<h3>3. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson</h3>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Rondae Hollis-Jefferson</strong> was playing the best basketball of his career with the Brooklyn Nets and then it all went downhill for him. He’s not much of a shooter, but his length, defense, and athleticism could grant him another shot in the league.</p>
<p>Hollis-Jefferson can hold his own vs. smaller, quicker guardswhile also being able to defend both forward spots. He’s currently playing for Puerto Rico’s<strong>Atléticos de San Germán, </strong>but would welcome a homecoming in a heartbeat.</p>
<h3>2. Jahlil Okafor</h3>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Jahlil Okafor</strong> is one of the biggest busts in NBA Draft history. Once considered a future superstar, his poor defense and questionable work ethic drove him out of the league seven years after being the third overall pick.</p>
<p>Okafor is currently playing for the<strong>Zhejiang Lions</strong> in China after failing to get consistent playing time in the NBA. But the physical traits and scoring skills are there, and if<strong> Enes Kanter</strong> played for so long, who’s to say he shouldn’t get another chance?</p>
<h3>1. Mike James</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220825_BUS_198543_mike_james.jpg_22993414_2377d49f.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Mike James- Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Mike James </strong>is an instant source of offense off the bench. He may never be a good defender by NBA standards, but he’s a streaky shooter that can get hot in the blink of an eye, and he’s proven it already.</p>
<p>James is a bonafide bucket-getter and is currently playing for the<strong>AS Monaco Basket</strong> but has openly admitted his desire to get another shot in the NBA. He has Sixth Man of the Year potential if used properly.</p>
