Question since you have anawered my last question so well.......better than any other person has answered me with I was wondering:
What kind of free stuff do the players get when they are in the nba. Like what do they get in the hotels, in the locker room(like are the headbands, wristbands, socks, etc. free upon reequest). and what kind of promotions do players get when they join the team. Thanks
Answer If they have any kind of shoe deal (and many so-so players even do) they can get just about anything imaginable free that is associated with that brand. Much like even a Tiger Woods with Nike. From there, anything with their team name on it from gymbags to t-shirts is all free. Socks I believe are NBA issue but those are free to players as well as they are part of the nba 'uniform'. Most players typically have to buy a certain number of season tix and give them to their charity of choice or to a group of deserving people. That also may be part of their overall contract too. Only thing I'm not sure of is the obvious and that is NBA basketballs. I'm not sure if they are given those or not.
