By having the best players in the world, and being well organized in all aspects, it gives more reason for many to consider the NBA as the best basketball league in the world. That said, their sponsorships and TV deals have been the highest paying, which translates to higher salaries for their players.

However, according to Houston Rockets head coach Mike D'Antoni, he believes the NBA should follow how European teams give base salaries and bonuses to their players when they win games.

The 68-year-old has a deep understanding of how the European Leagues pay their players, having coached in Italy in the past. He started his coaching career with Olimpia Milan before being hired by Benetton Treviso.

His opinion may not be the most popular to the NBA's team owners, because it would mean less revenue for them, but the fans could be the biggest winners should the league apply the same scheme. The level of competition can be expected go higher and players may have less games where they rest as well. Although it's a long shot that it will also be the case in the NBA, it could be something Adam Silver and company may look at, especially with the issue about DNP-rests continuing to be a controversial issue.
