that nigga getting paid


Most players in the NBA (http://www.latimes.com/topic/sports/basketball/national-basketball-association-15008001.topic) receive their salary throughout the year -- but then Kobe Bryant (http://www.latimes.com/topic/sports/basketball/kobe-bryant-PESPT000948.topic) is not a typical NBA player.Negotiated as part of his specific contract, Bryant receives a balloon payment on Nov. 1. On Friday, the All-Star guard will receive $24,363,044 from the Lakers (http://www.latimes.com/topic/sports/basketball/los-angeles-lakers-ORSPT000104.topic).
Bryant's salary for the entire season is $30,453,805 -- the remaining $6.1 million will be paid out over the course of the year.

While there's a limit to how much a player can receive in advance, Bryant is right at that 80% maximum.

24 million to get swept, beg, and miss the playoffs watching scrubs tarnish the Lakers name.

more like a life reward for Achilles imho. Dude has been a great servant to this city so far and he was really a great player in his prime

I wonder how much he pockets with those Cali taxes.

[Katherine Robinson]

I wonder how much he pockets with those Cali taxes.

It's 10% so he would take home ~13m sans deductions.

So it's:::: 6 and 24.
