The NBA, as one of the most successful commercial leagues in the world, has a very complete welfare system. Meal allowance is also one of the many benefits, so since we are talking about meal allowance, how much is the meal allowance in the NBA?

NBA away guarantee system

According to the relevant provisions of the NBA, the team is responsible for the cost of accommodation and transportation of the players when they play on the road, but does not include the cost of meals.

In terms of transportation, the team usually has a special plane to and from the city where the game is played, and after getting off the plane, there is a team bus to transport the players. In terms of accommodation, the team every season before the start of the season has signed a good cooperation agreement with the hotel, the players go to the away game can be directly handbags to stay in the hotel, do not have to worry about this aspect of the cost, because the team has been and the hotel to play a good point. Of course, if the players in the local house, you can also choose to go home to live, the NBA in this regard is still more humane, and did not put the players in a very strict control, the players can choose on their own.

As for meals, the team will not provide them, or only provide some food to replenish energy. But the team will give each player a meal allowance, so that the players can solve the problem of eating on their own. Since it's a team benefit, the NBA league doesn't have a uniform standard, it's all decided by the teams themselves. Teams will give their players a meal allowance before road games, which typically costs between $100-$150, but of course, the cost of the allowance varies on holidays, and for teams that play in the Christmas games, the meal allowance for each player will be multiplied by 10.

How much does an NBA player's meal allowance cost

The NBA's meal allowance is a lot for the average person, and it's very high compared to athletes in other leagues. But this meal allowance in the eyes of the NBA players is not much at all, because the NBA players are tall and big, eat much more than ordinary people, which is more than a hundred dollars randomly in the United States of a restaurant is not enough.

Of course, the food subsidy is just for each player to subsidize the cost of eating, and not to ask you to go to eat a lot of food. Players are there to play, not to enjoy themselves. The hotels where the team provides accommodation for the players are all high-class hotels, and the room rates of the hotels include food and beverage services, so the hotels will provide a buffet, and most of the players will choose to eat the buffet at the hotel, and many of the players will save up for this subsidy.

There is a reason why the NBA has become the most successful commercial league in the world, because the NBA's system is very humane and provides the best possible service for the players, which attracts the best basketball players from all over the world and makes the NBA the top basketball league.
