NBDL Salaries ain't all that

Salaries in the development league range from $12,000 to $24,000 a season, paid in part by money from the NBA. Due to such modest salaries, some Idaho Stampede players share an apartment in Boise. Jermaine Blackburn and Ronell Taylor's three-bedroom apartment is a testament to lives spent on the move. The white walls are completely bare. The focal point of the room is a huge television set where they spend most of their down time playing video basketball games. The team covers apartment rent and utilities. Blackburn and Taylor pay for their groceries and the monthly $40 charge for leasing a washer and dryer. Taylor, a 24-year-old guard from Alabama, says they split all costs down the middle.

Re: NBDL Salaries ain't all that
Sure, it's not much money, but what a great life - nothing to do all day but play basketball and get into bar fights with drunken cowboys.
