"I went to some teams, man, when I got there, they were like, `We'll pay you $400 a week.' And they couldn't even pay you $400 a week," Moon was saying the other day. "The owner would call you, `The money will be here next Friday, so if you would, would you just stay and play until next Friday, because we promise the money will be there.' The money was never there. Never. There's so many teams I had to leave for financial reasons, man.

"That's why I don't understand why people complain in the NBA. People complain like they're not making enough money. Come on, man. If they just went through a month in the minor leagues ..."

Meanwhile, the Toronto Raptors are experiencing double-digit increases even though the team's record is no better than it was at this time last year.

We're talking some pretty impressive increases here: up 51 per cent on Sportsnet (165,000 average), 28 per cent on The Score (120,000) and 6 per cent on TSN (158,000). And though the accuracy of digital ratings is somewhat suspect, Raptors NBA TV has seen its average audiences (68,000) almost triple.

Overall, ratings are up 34 per cent, marking the second successive season of double-digit increases.
