NBA salary is crazy man. I know other sports are crazy too but talking bout the NBA specifically, a lot of these dudes are way overpaid. $40mil + a year to play ball is just crazy.

Good for them though, get yo moneys and take advantage.

8%, if accurate, would still be higher than SLC and Portland wouldnt it. They all marry white women anyways so

If your labor generates the revenue, then you are not overpaid

total player salaries are based off a pretty straightforward calculation derived from league revenues.

They’re quite literally not overpaid.

Unless you think the 50/50 revenue split should be 90/10 in the owners favor

As a collective, I would lean towards your statements. But there are definitely individuals that don't deserve the checks they cash.

This. We all sit here and play party to an evil enterprise. For me to have more, someone must have less.

There are a lot of overpaid people in the world

But most people focus their anger trying to call out workers/laborers while ignoring owners of capital/employers

There are a lot of people that use their market power to exploit their workers and consumers to enrich themselves
