How can you bring yourself to spend money for NBA tickets?
Unless you live in some small market where tickets are less expensive (Memphis? New Orleans?) I don't know how people watch basketball games live.
In NY, even if you go to watch a bad visiting team the tickets will run you $150 a pop and you're still way back there.
Let the Lakers or Warriors visit, and you're looking at double that. And you're still not anywhere near the floor.
For people with a family, it's just ridiculous to drop that kind of money for 2 hours.
From a distance you look at these contracts and you're glad these guys are getting paid. They "made it". Great. Whatever. But try to actually watch them in person...it will hit you who is paying that salary.
