I think most players are overpaid but the owners don't have a choice if they want to be competitive. There are a lot of good players in the NBA right now.
To say the players are over paid is inacurrate except in opinion only. All entertainment employees are paid what the market dictates. Simple supply and demand. You think athletes, movie stars, rock stars, or prostitues are getting paid too much you just don't support their product. Evidently pro sports teams are doing ok even with soaring salaries because the owners keep ponying up the cash. If people want to pay $10 to see a movie, $100 dollars to see a concert, $1000 dollars to see a stoopid game it is their choice and evidently there are lots of folks out there willing to do just that. In my opinion plummers, mechanics, and doctors are over paid but when you want one you either do it yourself or pay up. We all should boycott all sports for one year and see what happens then to salaries, ticket prices, and a hot dog and beer at the game. Until then, take it with a chuckle and a grain of salt.
