What’s the back story on this?
So being an NBA is no different than having a white collar job one second. (as far as money and happiness)hmm interesting, If I had to bet I think there would be almost no correlation.
I think most of the happiness would be derived from the status, or respect money is proxy for in the NBA.
but being able to buy a bit bigger house, or a slightly bigger boat, whatever increased utility you get from extra money I think would be basically nothing.

And they are unique the other (as far as a championship providing the same happiness as working a fulfilling full time job)
-One of the reasons I find the money thing with NBA players not fitting neatly with the research you used is because of the uniqueness of being an NBA player.
NBA salaries are public knowledge. Someone that takes a 50% paycut to be on a team will get to see players of equal or even lesser value get paid more than them. 50 million over 10-12 years career is a ton of money to the average person. But an NBA player could blow through that money given a certain lifestyle. If it was impossible to do, then their wouldn't be documentaries about athletes going broke. Or they wouldn't have to tell dudes "lockout is coming, save your checks".
50 million vs 100 million over a long career means minding your lifestyle and spending in some areas. While seeing people just as good or not as good as you get paid more.
Yes someone can have a mansion, luxury cars, designer clothes and eat at high end places. But taking that paycut might mean no PJ, not big car collection, no insane Jewelry collection, no estate, no helping every family member, a limit on support staff you can hire. Which by itself would be no big deal, but you have to watch you teammate have those things you willing put out of reach.
To me, it seems being in the NBA, and how NBA players spend their money, is unique to the white collar person.
Isn't the average millionaire in their 50s? I would think those decades might play a part too.
I don't know, I just don't think it is easy as "Read a paper on research....it applies to every NBA player".
I feel not getting paid your full market value is something that has the potential to make players unhappy.
-Second, you talk about the dimishining returns of money, what about championships.
One chip is supposed to keep dudes happy for an entire career? I find that hard to believe. To me the value of a chip to a player is higher for people closer to the end of their career, especially for those dudes that already cashed out and have zero chips. And it wears off over time, especially for younger players.
Like if a player took a pay cut to play on a championship team, and wins one, and say they are extension eligible. We really expect them to say "I'll take another pay cut, to be happier with another championship" or are they gonna be like "it is time to get paid". By your theory, they would sign up for another paycut. I would guess if we did an experiment on this, more people would want the money if they previously took a large paycut to win a chip.
The guy who is saying he would leave $50MM on the table for $100MM and also previously argued that slavery was beneficial thinks that he would form a lasting connection, business or otherwise, with Jay-Z over the course of a meal.
You can’t make this up.

how well would I be able to convert that dinner into a connection with no prior relationship with him?
but prob too much uncertainty in the Jay-Z dinner.
maybe he just tells about the time he lost 92 bricks for 45 mins and calls it a night?
so Ill prob take 50k.
I thought this man was disputing the slavery comment and he's double-posting over the Jay Z dinner![]()
Insult my intelligence all you want with your soliloquies and double posts. I’m simply saying that Jay-Z wouldn’t like you, man![]()

That's basically what MVP is until people want to hate on someone/prop up the undeserving.... Like last yearThe NBA should add an offensive player of the year award.
I know Osh is upset because mans outchea slandering like we back on da Yuku servers.
