Salaries continue to rise in the NBA, which enjoys very good financial health. There is an effort to raise awareness among all young players entering the league about the need to be responsible and manage their money calmly and rationally. In this context, what many do not know is how the payment process works for NBA players.

It is a world of its own with many questions and special aspects that escape public knowledge. The NBA has a special aura of sports competition, with a very marked idiosyncrasy in various aspects. One of them is the way in which the large salaries that exist today are paid. Anthony Davis shed light on this aspect in a talk where he explained that players receive payments every two weeks, on the 1st and 15th of each month.

But what's most interesting is that the annual salary can be received in 12 installments, corresponding to all months of the year, or in six, meaning only during the competition months. "It all depends on how you are and how you manage your finances. If you spend a lot of money, you will need income every month of the year. Most players receive payments in 12 months; in fact, I think many don't even know they can choose to receive in 6, which is a good option when you are more experienced and financially stable," commented the American center.
