so i was looking at nba salary info
top players get 42 million per year
so got me to thinking
how big is each pay cheque they end up receiving?
assume it is paid over 8 months and paid monthly
so they are getting gross pay of over 5 million each month
many huge deductions for sure
but can that player take his net pay cheque of $3 million
and cash it at moneymart?

Last I checked (I managed to see one of Sandis Ozolinsh's paycheques once, don't ask my sources as alot of Melmacians had gave up their lives to supply me with this information, Alf is forever giving me the evil eye because of this....)...
Their salary was paid either biweekly or bimonthly (it WAS a LONG time ago afterall and I'm going by memory) and divided up over the course of a season. By the end of the regular season, the paycheques stop (players get nothing other than playoff bonus money and/or specific incentive clauses written into their contract). Reason why playoff revenue is where the owners REALY make their money.
