Winning a second WNBA title was out of the question for Emma Meesseman. But the Belgian Cat did have another excellent season, for the first time in the service of the Chicago Sky, and was therefore well worth her annual salary. Only, now it appears once again the difference between the WNBA and the NBA…

Meesseman, who failed in the semifinals with Chicago, earned 185,000 dollars (about 188,000 euros) with her one-year contract. A nice amount, but a piece of cake compared to what top men earn and apparently also some mascots of NBA teams can credit their bank account.
Rocky, the mascot of the Denver Nuggets, would earn no less than $ 625,000 per season. The man in the suit earns ten times more than the average mascot. Only Harry the Hawk of the Atlanta Hawks comes close with his $ 600,000 (612,000 euros). Benny The Bull of the Chicago Bulls ($400,000) and Go The Gorilla of the Phoenix Suns ($200,000) also raised more cash than Meesseman, generally regarded as one of the best basketball players in the world.
