We need to bring back 70% tax rates. These salaries are too high. Makes me uncomfortable
NBA athletes are the richest athletes in the world

That Luka deal is going to be insane.
That said, soccer is still stomping.
Messi made 30% more money in 4 years than Beyonce made in 23 years. That's only off of soccer, not endorsements.
Still crazy to imagine that some software engineers make more than some of these professional athletes (that includes NBA players) though.

Yup and nba has been the highest paid by median and average for 30 years now and it keeps increasing
For every Messi deal there’s ten Pat Bevs
I don’t like pocket watching but ever since the government changed those tax rates on the rich back in the early 80s from 70% and let corps run wild in the mid 80s with policy changes , shyt has gotten nuts. And all the laws have been setup since to keep them rich

Yeah on average the NBA is premier. Like the top 5-50 salaries around sports maybe.
At the peak though soccer's no max makes for another tier.
Indeed. But that’s a very very limited group who gets that kinda bread.
Brad Beal getting 50 mill a year
NBA cats by far are the highest paid and the shyt keeps increasing

Basketball and football are clearly the best sports to play and you can get the most money from it because of how global it is. The thing is the nba is so many few guys its really an elite tier and the average career doesnt last long, you had guys like jack wilshere in arsenal making over 100k pounds, in the premier league you can be a role player and be on 100000 pounds wages , and the thing is you can play football for a longer time, i bet the average span is higher than in NBA , nfl for sure and even baseball, alot of footballers play at least over a decade too, look at ronaldo and messi , neymar and mbappe clearly the most marketable brands and i think all above lebron or any american athelete, you can argue bron over mbappe. That justs show you how global a brand sports is. If the NBA was more open i woud go for it, but you got short guys 5,7 5,8 5,9 like messi,debruyne etc
You can play in the epl and bounce from team to team for years while earning solid wages. I think its better for the average football EPL player than the NBA
The endorsements alone the likes like messi and ronaldo and neymar get is incomprehensible to the average NBA athlete, they simply dont have the brand exposure.
