Basketball

Guys making $30-50 million per year on a 6 year contract probably don't care much.
But, there are 65 players in the NBA making the Rookie or Veteran Minimum Salary.
That's $900k to $2.8 million. An 18 - 55% bonus would be quite welcome to them
Even some vets that make 5 or 6 million would probably be pleased.
To Steph Curry, who makes $48 million for basketball & another roughly $120 million off-court, a half-million won't motivate much. Like a $100,000 a year employee getting a $300 bonus. Nice, but not meaningful.
