I was reading an article about how Klay Thompson not getting the All-NBA nod will cost him the supermax contract this summer. By all accounts, Klay Thompson’s failure to make All-NBA will lower his 5-year contract from $221M to $191M. And if Thompson choses one of the other 29 NBA teams? He can only sign for 4 years causing him to lose out on another $30M.
By comparison, the average U. S. worker, making a $47,060 annual salary. So it would take your run of the mill American worker 4,058 years to make what Klay will make in 4 years.
