I said it numerous times.

He's a generational athlete.  He's a walking highlight reel. They don't care if he's not the best player. He attracts the most eyeballs.

Klay Thompson- $9M/yr
Damian Lillard - $10M/yr
Greek Freak - $10M/yr
Derrick Rose - $11M/yr
Kyrie Irving - $11M/yr
Russell Westbrook - $12M/yr
Dwayne Wade - $12M/yr
[B]Zion - $13M/yr[/B]
James Harden - $14M/yr
Kobe Bryant - $16M/yr
Steph Curry - $20M/yr
Kevin Durant - $26M/yr
Lebron - $32M/yr
MJ - $130M/yr

So you tell me, why a rookie has a better sneaker contract than what the Greek Freak, Damian Lillard, and FELLOW DOOKIE Kyrie Irving were able to negotiate WHILE THEY WERE ALREADY NBA STARS. I'm sure it's because he went to Duke.

Apparently the NBA needs a better plan in place to get their top athletes additional exposure.
