Message: [QUOTE="storrsroars, post: 5039717, member: 2500"] This comes down one's opinion on unions. The NBA has perhaps the best of the major sports, considering they have the smallest rosters, thus more dollars to each rostered player. NBA players get 50% of all revenue per their CBA. In 2023, the NBA earned about $4.5 billion. Which means $2.25 billion to players. The # of players who were rostered was 529. 90 of those players are on two way contracts. For simplicity's sake, let's say those two-ways averaged $1 mill each. That leaves $2.16 billion divided by 439, which comes to about $4.92 million per player. 309 made less than that, 220 made more. It doesn't matter if the player scores 16 points a year of 1600. They're getting paid more than pretty much any of us make. [/QUOTE]
