Does Liz Cambage even basketball anymore?

WTF is the deal with Liz nowadays? Is she a basketballer or a DJ or a wannabe socialite or a diva without a cause ?

She'll play basketball when she needs more money.

I think she's still playing but only in China the last couple of years? There was an article on Herald Sun a couple of years ago that mentioned she got paid around $400k a season to play there.

She's Seriously not that talented....she's just THAT dam tall, but the amount of work she's had put into her she should be a world beater
LJ was talented, Penny Taylor and Michelle Timms talented, Cambagge .....just big
Her ego is far bigger than her ability will ever be

Let's not pretend she isn't a talented player though.

She earns enough in a Chinese season to go the "work-life balance" route, and if that's the way she wants to work it then good for her.
Yes it's a little frustrating as a fan knowing how good she could be in the elite comps like Euroleague or WNBA, but it's her life, not ours.

Making 500K+ for 3/4 of months work a year and having fun the rest of the time during my 20s would be a decent option.

And that impacts you how?

Fair to discuss potential, but seems a bit much to speak as you are about someone living their own life. If she's in a position to live life more than work it, so be it.

Doesn't impact me in the slightest pal, but this is a F-O-R-U-M where people are free to enquire and speculate about stuff

If she wants to drop pingas and get off tap then that's fine. Less chance of her taking up a roster spot now for the opals. Win win situation

She may enjoy her life and good on her but for a basketball fan it is a massive disappointment. She should be challenging herself against the best in the WNBA each year. I know I would definitely watch those games and follow her progress but I couldn't care less about the league in China.

It would be sad for her if she gets to her mid thirties and thinks back to the challenges and opportunities she has missed out on in the short time that she had to pursue them.

500k??

Try more like 1 million+

Not bad for a 5 month season, good luck to her.

Could be one of the greatest if she had any sort of work ethic, seems like basketball is purely a money earner not a passion

Talented but lazy as F$ck unfortunately - always has been. And an extremely negative influence on any team.

I know it's a forum. I built it. But there's some "what could have been" and then there's criticising someone for enjoying life in their prime.

^ that's good to know for the next time I want to ask a pointless question like, why a professional basketballer is partying instead of playing basketball in this he prime of their athletic life?

I'll be sure to run it past you first

Isn't the answer self-evident that she doesn't want to?

Nobody is going to force her to play basketball in the WNBA or WNBL

By the way, she's already said in the past basketball is a job and she doesn't enjoy it. So it's not a surprise really

I don't think she's naturally talented, she's been gifted with extreme height and she's been given every single opportunity possible to make something of herself in the world of basketball, but if her hearts not in it, no amount of pushing will change it.
I just think all the attention she gets is unwarranted as far as it being for her "talent" as she gets it more for her extreme height and extreme ego.....neither of which are great role models... Let's face it anyone that big in women's basketball has no excuse for missing a basket it's literally at arms length lol.

Let the girl go enjoy her life and stop giving her attention that's neither deserved nor beneficial, all it does is feed her already over inflated ego.
Maybe if the attention is reduced and she's basically just swept under the mat she may just wake up and smell the roses and she what opportunities she's thrown away .....opportunities many many players can only dream about and chase by sheer hard work and determination.

Getting overpaid in China has given her this freedom.
