It’s no surprise that NBA players are handed buckets of money to play a game that (as Robert Horry eloquently put it) elementary school kids play everyday. As salaries increase, players vie for the best deal they can get. Often, a player will sign for what seems an obscene amount of money to then become a key player on a team. Sometimes the longevity of a contract can make fans wonder if the player was worth all that money, especially as they age and their productivity is not what it once was.
I found a piece that listed their take on the most overpaid player on each team in this upcoming season.
