Bob Gibson wasn't in the NBA, but did play "pro" for a year. He said:
"I would sign with the Cardinals for a bonus of a thousand dollars, play out the season for another $3,000, then join the Globetrotters at $1,000 a month for four months of the baseball off-season...The total was $8,000, but the real value of the deal was that it kept me alive in both sports. I still wasn't ready to pick one." Gibson tried out with the Lakers but wasn't able to get signed. I think things worked out for him.
