Unlike in baseball and the NFL, where early pension can be applied for at age 45, the NBA player is due significant annual benefits at age 30, or the first year he retires.
So a player with five credited seasons between 1998 and 2011 would receive a monthly pension at age 55 of $2,350 for his lifetime. In addition to the pension, a 401(k)-type plan called the NFL Player Second Career Savings Plan provides an employer match of up to $2 for every $1 contributed by the player. The maximum match is $24,000 through 2014, rising incrementally to $28,000 through 2020.
