Message: [QUOTE="Knicks411, post: 2240071, member: 767"] They do pay taxes in every state they play in, but I believe it's generally not double counted; it's just paying essentially the same amount in taxes, just allocated to different states. Did some research on this stuff. NBA players can also participate in a 401(k) where the NBA matches contributions up to 140% (so a $1.40 for every $1.00 you contribute) And of course, you may put money into the pension plan now (not sure how much), but the idea is you do get stuff on the back end. According to my googling, you are vested after 3 years (so basically Tyler just needs the first option to be picked up), and the minimum benefit is about $60,000 per year. Also, based on the cursory googling I have done, so this is not definitely correct, but it sounds like the league and the PA are funding the pension plan. Not sure how much each player puts in, if anything. [/QUOTE]
