I am not, but there is one individual in LA who was reported to have season tickets at $3000 for the season. His yearly salary is $10,000. I give him props as the biggest fan of any team. That was reported on ESPN, Mike & Mike in the morning, Cold Pizza, and PTI, all ESPN shows.

Here is your #1 answer.\n\nI read that Stephon Marbury has or will come out with his own line of basketball shoes.  They are going to cost somewhere in the $20s and be good enough that he will occasionally wear them in games.  I think it's his effort to balance the outrageous cost of some many basketball shoes.

I googled Brindley Wright.  He currently plays for Cibona in the EuroLeague.  His salary was not disclosed.  Generally, EuroLeauge salaries are similar to the NBA's in one aspect.  There is a minimum and and star players make lots more.  Some Euro players make less in the NBA, but opt for the NBA because of the prestige.

In answer to yur first question currently david beckham is the highest paid this soon could be michael ballack because chelsea have bottomless pockets there is also speculation ronahldinio may sign a new contract that would entitle him to £90,000 a week. In answer to question 2 i would imagine that this is correct as the USA capital of NBA is a much larger country than the UK capital of the FA. Although the only thing that may contradict this is the folowig of football all over the world i.e. world cup to which NBA hasnt got a version of. Hope this helps ;o)

I would guess Nike is a publicly traded company and has shareholders to answer to. Thus shares of stocks.

NBA players are paid yearly. The amount varies from contract to contract and depends on how many years is stated in the contract.

The Force Behind the Nike Empire by Jackie Krentzmanhttp://www.stanfordalumni.org/news/magazine/1997/janfeb/articles/knight.html"In a very short period of time, Phil Knight created one of thegreatest American commerce stories of the 20th century," says sportsagent David Falk, who has frequently butted heads with Knight over themarketing and representation of athletes.""But make no mistake: As athletically awesome and charismatic asMichael Jordan is, he alone did not make Nike as recognizableworldwide as Coke and McDonalds. Nor did he make "Just Do It" theslogan that best encapsulates the 1990s. Nike is a cultural iconbecause Knight understood and captured the zeitgeist of American popculture and married it to sports. He found a way to harness society'sworship of heroes, obsession with status symbols and predilection forsingular, often rebellious figures. Nike's seductive marketing focusessquarely on a charismatic athlete or image, rarely even mentioning orshowing the shoes. The Nike swoosh is so ubiquitous that the name Nikeis often omitted altogether."Phil understands the symbolic power and attractiveness of sports,"says A. Michael Spence, dean of the Stanford Graduate School ofBusiness and a Nike board member. "And he helped build that connectionin our culture.""No company has put as much creative energy and resources intomarketing celebrities as Nike. If, as Marshall McLuhan famously said,advertising is the greatest art form of the 20th century, then Nike isits Picasso, imaginatively expanding the parameters of the medium'suse of the athlete-endorser. "We didn't invent it," Knightacknowledges in an interview, "but we ratcheted it up severalnotches."Nike engineered shoes for the top echelon of athletes to compete andtrain in. At the same time, the company's mass marketing made theshoes so attractive and desirable that they became a de rigueuraccessory to the American wardrobe and dream--even if increasinglysedentary teens only wore them to watch TV.""An indifferent student, Knight graduated from Oregon with a degree injournalism in 1959. He enlisted in the army for a year (and served inthe reserves for seven), then enrolled at the Graduate School ofBusiness at Stanford.Stanford changed Knight's life. Finally, school wasn't drudgery. Forthe first time, he was excited to read about something other thansports. And it was in Frank Shallenberger's small-business class thatKnight conceived Nike.Shallenberger gave his class the following assignment: Invent a newbusiness, describe its purpose and create a marketing plan. In hispaper, "Can Japanese Sports Shoes Do to German Sports Shoes WhatJapanese Cameras Did to German Cameras?" Knight developed a blueprintfor superior athletic shoes, produced inexpensively in Japan, wherelabor was cheaper. "That class was an 'aha!' moment," Knight says."First, Shallenberger defined the type of person who was anentrepreneur--and I realized he was talking to me. I remember afterwriting that paper, saying to myself: 'This is really what I wouldlike to do.' ""Knight streamlined the company (laying off 600 of the company's 2,000employees) and reorganized Nike along more conventional, corporatelines. Where Knight was once famous for governing by instinct, todayNike studies reams of statistics and convenes a focus group beforedesigning a new shoelace. The marketing budget grew, and so did theemphasis on design, Nike's euphemism for fashion."in mind unlike existing companies who focused on their productsappearance and durability. Nike infested their market with brightcolors, new styles, and technology information pertaining to theirproducts. This is why Steve Prefontaine and Nike were a tremendoustandem in the early years of Nike’s existence."=============================History and Timeline=============================N

basketball players make a little more than football players, because of their collective bargaining agreement with the league allows players to make a certain amount.  \n\nNBA Salary (rookies $398,762-$473,604) | (veterans $641,768-$1,352,181) the salaries rise each and every year\nhttp://www.insidehoops.com/minimum-nba-salary.shtml\n\n "Average NBA salary is $4.9 million (U.S.), the highest of any major North American sports league. The collective bargaining agreement came up for agreement in 2005 but NBA Commissioner David Stern decided to make no attempt to implement a hard cap or any other major changes, to the dismay of many commentators who felt that changes were long overdue and that the NBA could take advantage of the NHL's momentum."
