Keldon Johnson wants to win the NBA Cup so he can buy a llama

The winning team of the NBA Cup — the league’s new in-season tournament — is set to receive a tidy bonus, with each player earning over $500,000 if they’re able to take home the trophy.

For most NBA players, that isn’t a huge amount of money, but they certainly won’t be turning it down. An extra half-million dollars could be used for whatever these multi-millionaires desire: vacations, cars, clothes, homes, jewelry, etc. But one former Kentucky Wildcat has a unique approach to how he plans to spend the money if his team ends up winning the Cup.
