This has been an “issue” for a long time, but ever since every player became a millionaire, wins and losses haven’t mattered as much to me. Oh, the Lakers are losing to the Kings tonight. So what? Every player is set for life. The 60s-90s were more interesting because players were fighting for survival. Yes, they’ve been making tons of money, but I now it’s so overblown. Yes, players are still fighting for contracts and playing time, but it’s not the same.
I wish there were non-guaranteed contracts or more incentive-based deals. In-season tournament? What’s the appeal? Why would someone who makes $5 million per year care much about winning the tournament? Bragging rights? Additional money? Meh.

You don’t even have to go back to the 60s. As recently as 2004, the Minnesota Timberwolves offered Latrell Sprewell a contract that couldn’t even feed his family.
Millions of people want to watch them play a sport. They deserve to get paid
College players aren’t rich and it’s boring as fuck
Why do I care how much anyone makes? They are all equal between the lines
Probably one of the only ethical ways to make generational money and ur getting upset at them. Have u seen an nba player in their 30’s? They sell their body u stupid fuck
Weird hill to stand on: it must be lonely there
What the hell does another dude’s salary matter to you?
If those dudes’ paychecks bother you, go check out some games at the park.
Unfortunately the guys at the park might make more money than you too.
In that case I dunno what to tell you 😂
Right, the owners and executives deserve to make a little more /s
Who gives a shit bro just enjoy the game of basketball. Jfc
It’s not the hunger games you fucking loser
