Question

Do olympic basketball players get paid to participate?

Answer 1

No. You play in order to represent your country.You can get endorsement deals though( commercial payments).

Answer 2

No. They participate mainly for the honor of representing their countries. In addition to that, for many sports, the Olympics is the biggest stage in which the athlete can participate. Success there usually guarantees recognition, endorsements deals, or contracts. So personal success does usually follow Olympic success. Some countries give their Olympians money if they win a gold medal but not all countries practice that.
