If you write for commercial sites about the NBA, what has been the approximate average pay for a longer form article? (Full page to several pages.)

Can enter up to 3 choices, given different market niches.

When I wrote for the NBA they paid a decent hourly rate that included research time as well as the writing. Some of the longer pieces ended up paying several hundred.

Thanks for sharing. Thought some market info could help some who don't have experience or a baseline.
