)to even be invited to training camp.

After medical school, I plan on specializing in Orthopedic Surgery. The following link gives you an idea of what I will make.

Not too shabby. Unless a guy ends up in the NBA, he probably won't earn this kind of money playing professionally, except for a few of the top players in Europe. Plus, I will get to help all of you guys extend your NBA playing careers when you come to see me to repair any blown out knees
