<p>The 2023-2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba"><strong>NBA</strong> </a>season will see the return of some familiar names, including Montrezl Harrell. Some <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-76ers"><strong>Philadelphia 76ers</strong></a> fans thought it was time to let Harrell go, but the franchise resigned him to play in the upcoming season.</p>



<p>For some teams, it is difficult to let go of experienced players who did not have good numbers last season. <strong>These players can become salary burdens</strong>, which can prevent teams from signing other players.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230705#BUS#23562"></div>


<p>Some fans are shocked that some players were resigned despite having bad attitudes and not working hard enough to earn a roster spot. Meanwhile, other players who worked hard were not offered new contracts or extensions.</p>



<h2>Here are five players who will surprisingly return for the 2023-2024 NBA season:</h2>



<p>1. <strong>Kris Dunn</strong> will be back in the NBA after a season playing in the G League. He signed with the Utah Jazz.</p>



<p>2. <strong>James Bouknight</strong> had multiple attitude problems and was found unconscious with a weapon in his car. He was drafted by the Charlotte Hornets and has been playing in the G League since 2021. He will play for the Dallas Mavericks this season.</p>



<p>3. <strong>Dante Exum</strong> never lived up to expectations as a point guard in the NBA. He played for the Utah Jazz and Cleveland Cavaliers before going to Europe to play for FC Barcelona and Partizan Belgrade. He will play for the Dallas Mavericks this season.</p>



<p>4. <strong>Reggie Jackson</strong> signed a $10.3 million contract with the Denver Nuggets. He has only averaged more than 10 points per game once in his four seasons with the Clippers.</p>



<p>5. <strong>Dillon Brooks</strong> signed a four-year, $80 million contract with the Houston Rockets. He had a bad season last year and was called the “Tank Commander.”</p>

<p>It’s not a secret that the <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> </strong>is conformed 90% by American players. They have the biggest exposure since their high school days and the <strong>NCAA</strong> system allows them to be right here in the eyes of scouts.</p>
<p>However, there have been multiple foreign legends of the game who paved the way for many more to come. <strong>Dirk Nowitzki, Pau Gasol, and Tony Parke</strong>r are just a few of the names that come to mind.</p>
<p>Then again, there have been several other players that even played for Team USA despite not being born in America, or that spent most of their lives in the U.S but weren’t born onAmerican soil. That’s why today, we’re going to let you know about <strong>5 NBA players you may have not known that were born overseas.</strong></p>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Clint Capela </strong>has made a name for himself for his rim-running, rim-protection, and rebounding skills. Originally drafted by the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/houston-rockets-t102082" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Houston Rockets</a>, he’s now one of the biggest factors for the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/atlanta%C2%A0hawks-t101420" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Atlanta Hawks.</a></p>
<p>What most people don’t know is that the big man wasn’t actually born in the United States. In fact, he didn’t even attend college, as he was born and raised in <strong>Switzerland</strong>. He’s the highest-earning team athlete in his nation’s history.</p>

<h2>Reggie Jackson</h2>

<p></p></div>
<p>A couple of years ago, it seemed like <strong>Reggie Jackson</strong> was poised to break out and become one of the best scoring guards in the league. Those days have passed but he’s still having a big role off the bench for the Los Angeles Clippers.</p>
<p>With that name, you’d assume that he was born in the United States, but that’s not true. He was actually born in Pordenone,<strong> Italy, </strong>as his fathers were American soldiers deployed on Italian soil when he was born.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>Most people consider <strong>Patrick Ewing </strong>as the greatest player in New York Knicks history and I won’t be the one to disagree. He was one of the most dominant rebounders and post scorers of his time, even representing Team USA.</p>
<p>But, crazy as it may seem, Ewing wasn’t even an American, at least not from the States. The legend out of Georgetown was actually born in <strong>Jamaica</strong>, and his son used to play for the Jamaican national team.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>Wait, what? How come <strong>Steve Kerr</strong> isn’t American? With that name, and having attended an NCAA program, how on earth the legendary three-point shooter, 8-time NBA Champion wasn’t born on U.S soil?</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>Well, believe it or not, Steve Kerr was actually born in<strong>Lebanon, </strong>where his father was a college teacher. Sadly, he was assassinated by extremists while Steve was back home in the United States.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>And last, but not least, we find perhaps the most surprising player on this list. Yes, believe it or not, <strong>Kyrie Irving </strong>wasn’t born in the United States. As a matter of fact, he was born in Melbourne, Australia.</p>
<p>Irving became infamous for his thoughts on the earth being flat, but he should know better, as he had to make a huge trip when he was a kid. He’s played for the United States and was even named MVP of the <strong>FIBA World Cup </strong>in 2014.</p>
