| Rasmussen, who recently joined the Houston Comets after being traded from the Indiana Fever, said the opportunities are definitely there. The Okemos native said her contract with Spain's Mann Filter Zaragoza in LigaFemina netted her about $95,000 this past season. That's up from her first year away from the United States, when she made a little over $30,000. |
95k for a player of Rasmussen's calibre? Wow. You can see why some players want to stick to European b'ball only. |

It's all a matter of perspective 
It took her years to get from $30,000 to $95,000 overseas.
$95,000 for 7 mo = $13,571 per month Europe
$54,000 for 4 mo = $13,500 per month in US
same money for 3 mo less work
$89,000 for 4 months = $22,250 per month in US which is $8,679 more per mo than $95,000 for 7 mo overseas
