Los Angeles Lakers guard Max Christie had six points and four rebounds off the bench in the team’s win over the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday night. The second-year player out of Michigan State has a salary of $1.7 million, which means each game check is worth about $20,000. One Lakers fan went home after the game with a check worth five times that much.
Before the start of the fourth quarter, 34-year-old Fidel Olmos of Redlands, Calif., stepped out on the court for a simple contest: hit a half-court shot, win $100,000. Olmos fired and nailed the shot beautifully.
