The top 450? There's only 450 players. 30 teams, 15 players on the roster.

No, they don't.
There are 30 teams, with a salary cap of $136M, i.e. $4.08B.
I'm looking at the top CEO salaries and I'm already at $2.6B and I'm only at number 20.

- FireBeyond 3y agoActing like receiving some of your compensation in immediately exercisable stock grants being not technically a salary is a distinction that matters to none but the IRS. Yet somehow, bundling in endorsements and book deals and other extracurriculars when referring to NBA player salaries? Totally reasonable, apparently. "Steve Jobs only took a $1 salary from Apple!"
