Kudos to Brandon!

From the article:
"Triche's Trento basketball team finished first in its division at 22-8. Triche averaged 16.5 points (11th best in the league), 3.5 rebounds and 3 assists per game. He shot 48.5 percent from 2-point range and 34 percent from the 3-point arc."

Great numbers and looks like his team is one of the better ones in the league.

A solid season for Brandon -- scored in double figures in all but two games:

That's a good living.

 

[AZOrange]

That's a good living.

I question the "tax free" part.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I question the "tax free" part.

Eh, even so, if you're not paying for housing and a vehicle that knocks out two major expenses right there.

And it's only 30 games.

The portion sizes over there are actually pretty small.

I had a friend that performed with Sesame Street live. I think she made 24kk per tour, which was like 3 or 4 months. Thing was, that was all upside because they paid for their housing, insurance, had a fleet of vehicles with drivers, gave them a per diem, etc. She lived the dream and banked a ton of it.
