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.
NBA players have one of the most generous pension plans in all of professional sports. They are vested into their pension plans after playing at least three seasons in the league. The minimum benefit for a player that retires at the age of 62 is $56,988 per year - not a bad retirement for a three-year career. The maximum benefit for any player is $195,000, and it takes 11 years of NBA service to qualify for this benefit.
