Llama, boat, investment… What to do with NBA Cup money?
Almost half a million dollars. Each player who wins the game will receive this. NBA Cup. Enough to decorate the base of the tree in ten days, or treat yourself to a llama as imagined by Keldon Johnson or the boat for Desmond Bain.
The winning bonus is exactly $477,840 for each winner, and each player had to reveal what they planned to do with that sum. “Poor Victor needs more money” sneered Victor Vembanyamabefore admitting he didn’t know what he was going to do. “Accumulating money has never been a goal in my life” he concluded.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander explained it his wife donated money raised after qualifying for the semi-finals. Same thing for Lou Dort, while Tyus Jones and Jalen Williams have warned they will move him.
As the Thunder winger recalled, “Half a million dollars is a lot of money, no matter how much you make. It’s more than enough to motivate you to play hard.” Especially when you have a small salary like a “two-way player” or a starter. “Especially those who don’t play but work hard every day” points out Mikal Bridges. “They hold us accountable, make sure we stay focused so they can make some money too.”
Well with his $12 million for the year, Dylan Harper is doing it again “that’s a lot of money” and warns that he will go shopping. “It will be a good Christmas, I can promise you that.” I haven’t decided anything yet, but I will definitely do some shopping, buy Christmas presents for my family. Maybe a bit over the top… We mostly came to earn this money! »
And coincidentally beat the Thunder who had the best start to a season in history with 24 wins and 1 loss.
