Do players get paid from jersey sales?

Anyone know?

yes

I don't believe NBA players do. I think NFL players do though.

Gilbert Arenas better get paid. He throws out a jersey every game.

Yeah they get a certain % of their sales. Nothing compared to their contracts though.

it's a little murky but that's a yes and no answer for this... the sales of players jerseys goes to the nba and is counted as basketball related income of which a certain percentage of this goes to the players association and each player gets paid by the nbapa after expenses and such.. so yes they get paid but from what i can sort out they all get the same amount at the end of the year and it all depends on the profit seen by the league that given season...

Yup

An answer off the cyber net:

[I]"So the full answer to your question is:

Yes, NBA players receive money from their jersey sales.

But it is not directly related.

The jersey sales inflate the total amount of money in the league, and players receive a proportion of that (44.75% approximately, with some variance)."[/I]

This

They collectively pot their tips together and split even at the end of shift. I believe this goes for almost all NBA memorabilia .

There's also shoe contracts. Every NBA player has an endorsement deal with some shoe company, and the superstars get paid millions of dollars, or even get their own shoe line. Those endorsement contracts have many bonuses built in.. win the scoring title, be voted as an All-Star starter, win MVP, win the title... all these accomplisments and a lot more can earn a player millions of extra dollars above the base value of the contract.

Most NBA players are signed with Nike. By an odd coincidence, Nike also manufactures NBA jerseys. So do NBA players who have a shoe deal with Nike receive a payout for each one of their jerseys Nike sells? Seems pretty likely.

Axe gets paid from giving blowjobs to American tourists.

They say that once you start smoking crack rock dayly, you will be seeing the world and those around it radically. What's more, envy is taken to another level. :rolleyes:

So that is why you started smoking crack before opening your blowjob business.

Interesting.

Without having to rely on welfare checks, most likely.
