Shock in the ABA League! American McKinley Wright, Regular Season MVP, Leaves Buducnost for Dubai!
Are you ready for this news? McKinley Wright, the American who was the best player for Buducnost and the MVP of the ABA League regular season last year, has signed a two-year contract with a club in Dubai! Yes, you read that right – instead of continuing to dominate regional basketball, Wright decided to take his skills all the way to faraway Dubai.
Who is McKinley Wright and why does this matter?
Last season, Wright posted impressive stats: averaging 12.8 points, 4.9 assists, and 2.4 rebounds per game. But that’s not all! His three-pointer in the last second of the ABA League semifinal against Crvena Zvezda sent Buducnost to the regional competition final. That moment will be remembered for a long time.
What does Dubai get?
Dubai hasn’t been known as a basketball powerhouse until now, but they are seriously stepping up. Besides Wright, the team includes Serbian national player Aleksa Avramović, as well as Danilo Anđušić and Nemanja Dangubić. Also, Džanan Musa, a recent Real Madrid player, is on the roster. Yes, Dubai is gearing up for the EuroLeague and they mean business!
What does this mean for the ABA League?
The departure of the ABA League MVP to Dubai signals that the regional league might be losing its best players to money and new, fast-growing leagues. Is this the beginning of the end for the ABA League as a top platform for talented players? Or is it just another sign that basketball is changing and money rules the game?
Is this a smart move for Wright?
On one hand, Dubai offers great conditions and a chance to play with top players and in the EuroLeague. On the other hand, leaving Buducnost and the ABA League might mean less visibility and less competition. But hey, who wouldn’t want to play in Dubai, where the sun shines 365 days a year?
Conclusion
McKinley Wright has made a move that will be talked about for a long time. While Dubai strengthens its basketball scene, the ABA League must ask itself how to keep its stars. And us? We’ll be watching every shot and every assist, whether in Podgorica or Dubai.
