The agent will pretend to be your bestfriend n tell you that... he will want 10% of whatever you make your 1st year..from bbal or commercials or sponsorship. He's basically being paid by you to hold your hand into a world of the unknown to you. He will offer u a good deal and negotiate with teams that u want to play for in the NBA, if u offer him a deal.

I'm fairly sure Toronto (the only Canadian NBA team) pays its players in US dollars, so they have the same salary cap. They just have to deal with the exchange rate before they pay the team.

MLB has the highest average salaries, I believe, at $2.5-$3 million.  The NFL has average salaries close to $1.5 million.  The NBA and NHL are also in the $1-2 million range.  I'm quoting these from memory, as I've seen the numbers before, but they may have changed since I read the article.\n\nNote that the best players get payed quite a bit more than that (some are over $20 million).  All of the leagues have minimum salaries in the $300k-$500k range.

These are the average salaries for the three major sports in the U.S.  I don't have info for golf or tennis at my fingertips and with the way hockey went a couple of years ago the salaries will stay down for a while.\n\n$4.17 million NBA\n$2,349,394 MLB\n$1.4 million NFL

In answer to yur first question currently david beckham is the highest paid this soon could be michael ballack because chelsea have bottomless pockets there is also speculation ronahldinio may sign a new contract that would entitle him to £90,000 a week. In answer to question 2 i would imagine that this is correct as the USA capital of NBA is a much larger country than the UK capital of the FA. Although the only thing that may contradict this is the folowig of football all over the world i.e. world cup to which NBA hasnt got a version of. Hope this helps ;o)

Mate I honestly don't know the average salary of a US player is perhaps 90,000 US$ or less but in europe club level pros are paid 180,000 US$ wages per week.

There are a couple professional players that make several hundred thousand a year.  The very best players can add to that a bit with the few endorsements reserved for the very top players.

Yeah, but NFL careers are on average only 4 seasons. Body takes a pounding. I doubt anyone calculates pay per hour/minute...besides you are just talking game time. NFL players practice and study film way more per week than NBAers. Plus off-season they have a zillion workouts from actual working on their own to mini-camps etc.

In terms of salary, Shaquille O'Neal gets paid the most.\n\n$20,000,000 per year.\n\nAllan Houston and Chris Webber are tied for second at $19,125,000 per season.

I agree their is a great amount of talent in the NBA. Kobe, Dwayne Wade, Lebron, Carmelo, Shaq, Tony Parker, and the list goes on.  It is not like back in the day when single players dominated the game. As for the players of today not being driven, this is so true.  I hate to see it, but what can you expect when they have guaranteed contracts?

The MLS keeps it's players salaries confidential but for the salaries that do leak it seems to be quite a difference. For instance, Freddie Adu will earn $550,000 this year, behind Landon Donovan of the Los Angeles Galaxy ($900,000) and Eddie Johnson of FC Dallas ($875,000).\n\nBobby Boswell earned $28,000 and there are 4 developmental players who made only $11,700. 3 others made $16,500.\n\nSo it's hard to give an actual average but you can see that they are all over the place.

The higest payed WNBA player gets 90,000. Rookies 30,000,. The starting rookie pay in the NBA is 350,000. The highest NBA plyers get 160 million. WNBA players have to play in europe to make ends meet when the seaon is over here.

Players are paid what the market offers.  Team owners generally overpay players in fear that the player may sign elsewhere.  I don't have a problem with a football player getting $2 million.  The average career of a football player is 4.5 seasons.  If that player is injured, and cannot work, then I can justify their salary.  As long as we the Suckers, keep buying tickets, jerseys, memorabilia and the like, then pro players will be overpaid.

It depends on what kind of music you're talking.  Most of the major names in rock and R&B get about what they get here. Jazz musicians usually earn more overseas.\n\nWhen my band toured last year in Russia we made over 10 times what we normally earn here in New York and we're not even famous.

It depends on the type of contract - many players have split contracts that say something like "Player X will earn $330,000/yr if on the major league roster and $50,000 if in the minor leagues."  This is fairly common with players who are early in their career, who are also the only ones who can be sent to the minors without their approval.
