That is an interesting thing. I guess not many NBA players file their own taxes, since it would involve filing in many states, and two countries. Not that they can't afford professional tax help. But for the guys at the bottom end of the salary scale, I'll bet they at least notice the tax costs.
I guess there is a benefit to being a Sonic - no state tax on home game income, since WA doesn't have state income tax?
