Professional basketball players, especially those in the National Basketball Association, or NBA, make considerable sums of money. NBA teams spend tens of millions of dollars a year to stock their rosters with the most talented players in the league. The NBA sets a team salary cap each season, and fines teams that spend more or less than the established maximum and minimum requirements. The minimum amount is always 85 percent of the salary cap. He is paid the same amount as his teammate, Chris Bosh, and slightly more than fellow Miami Heat all-star, Dwyane Wade. The NBA minimum salary changes each year, and is dependent upon skill level and experience. The league also sets limits on how much money top draft picks receive.
