$260K a year for working maybe 100 days a year is pretty damn god if you ask me. The NBA, like the NHL pays for or reimburses officials for travel expenses.

I wish I could get paid $260K to run up and dow na court and make bad calls all game
On the news this morning they were saying there are FBI agenst outside of his house because of death threats and they showed his house and it was freakin MASSIVE!
He has a problem and it didn't matter if he made $26/hr or $260K/yr he was going to bet on these games and for him to know the outcome (or at least help it to his advantage) made it a "sure thing" for him.
The NBA is going to be a trouble after this because now every fan or even semi fan is going to wonder when watching their team if this is another one of those games that are fixed.
They should redo the finals
Come on it would be exciting and I can only watch so much baseball through out the summer
