Remember how Jimmer could be seen around campus at BYU?
I remember seeing him as some dessert party at my complex,
I almost jokingly asked him to play me 1 on 1-
this was before his senior season, so he wasn't THAT big a of a deal...yet.
Well now its being reported that the BYU prodigy is making $2.3 million this season...
visit here for details: http://www.spotrac.com/nba/sacramento-kings/jimmer-fredette/
At first it may sound like, "eh, 2.3.. what's the big deal?! Relative to stardom, or the NBA that's not that much. Also sounds like the average GPA of NBA stars."
But here's some perspective--
if the NBA pays on a normal 2 week basis throughout the year... the boy's paycheck would be about $96K before taxes, insurance, etc. Woah!
if the NBA pays on a per game schedule (only 66 games this year, btw) that would be about $35k per game! If he averages 7 points per game, that's like $10,000 per bucket!
(as I write this I am furiously practicing basketball ........ .....if I could only master my free throws.........then that could be like $5,0.......nevermind)
In summary- The Jimmer has done well
and should be saving much faster than all of us.
Impressive....2 blogs in 2 days! That is pretty cool that he is making that much money. How much is he taxed on that tax master? Would be interesting to know haha. But the real questions is....as was the debate in our office yesterday, does Jimmer average over/under 7.0 points per game this season? I'm a big Jimmer fan, but I am on the under side.....thoughts?
