Paying for performance
From the New Jersey Nets beat, Dave D’Alessandro writes in the Star-Ledger:
Some [contract] incentives are bizarre. Consider Nick Collison of the Thunder — nice player, probably worthy of anybody’s power rotation. He gets $100,000 if he wins — wait for it — MVP.
MVP? If he wins MVP, someone ought to anoint him king.
In response, Collison quipped in a tweet:
If I would have known this I would have been MVP a long time ago.
The guy’s got a pocket full of wry.
