Proud Xavier Alum

On the night of The Crosstown Shootout, let's think about former X-man Brian Grant, voted by ESPN as the second-highest paid stiff in the NBA. Good work if you can get it.

2. Brian Grant, Los Angeles Lakers ($13,233,434)- What a wonderful world it must be ... to play 15 minutes, score three points and grab three rebounds, and collect a cool $161,383.34 for your night's work.

Let's break that down: $10,750 per minute; $53,800 a point

Wow.

Two positive notes: Grant plays especially well on Friday nights, when he averages 18 minutes, 5.7 points, 4 rebounds, and 0.5 assists. And he's the most efficient shooter on the Lakers.
