By what logic?
- fullshark 3y agoNBA has maximum contract sizes in its CBA. James (and many others) get the max contract allowed, which is why the best players choose teams for reasons other than money.
- catlover76 3y agoAh, salary cap, forgot about those.
- callalex 3y agoThe comment you replied to was only two sentences, one of which described “by what logic?”
- bogtog 3y agoThe NBA has a cap on how much each player can make (around $50M this year). Lebron could be, say, worth $100M/yr, yet they can't be paid this. I'm guessing that there are around a dozen players in the league worth more than the max salary.
- leksak 3y ago$50M is not underpaid for any profession, that sounds like a sizeable salary regardless of what you do or the sacrifices you have to make.
- catlover76 3y agoIt's "underpaid" in the sense of like, if teams would pay him more in the absence of the salary cap, which the other posters kindly reminded me of, then his "true" salary is higher than his current.
