20 Highest-Paid Players in the NBA

I rather see the players make decent salary than those shark owners. Those players work hard for their money otherwise they will not be or make what they make. Hurray for the players they entertain us not the management nor the owners. This is America whereby you are rewarded for your hard work.Those players deserve what they make and even more.

cool! what a wasste

Do the ladies and gentlemen of the armed forces who go out there to fight and protect us from harm, with some of them living an unfinished lives, earn even 1% of what these players earn? Goodness!!!.

what a waste of money

this is what capitalism is all about, folks; you receive what the market will bear; for those of you who disagree, would you refer to yourselves as socialists? that's pretty much what the (not)right calls anyone who challenges multi-millionaires/billionaires; good old capitalism is what made this country what it is--a multi-tier economic system with the bigs constantly getting bigger while the rest try desperately to keep their heads above water. it really works well for the well-thy.

We live in a very strange time. When you have Democrats and Republicans bickering and complaining about how otoTAKE CARE or CARE ENOUGH to TAKE CARE of the Indigent to make sure they have proper health care to the point where NOTHING IS EVER TAKEN CARE OF so for years people have died 'young' simply because they didn't have 'INSURANCE' (MY brother being a prime example...died at age 64 because he didn't have the $$$$$ for the Dr or hospital!)/ When our children and their children are watching their schools going backwards, with teachers being laid off and classes being cut...you know...the 'unnecessary ones like ART AND MUSIC!/ When most people are more interested in cocaine crazed tiger blooded 'poor excuse of a man' Sheen on '2 1/2 Men' , than they are in 'getting to know' and getting involved in their community and getting behind and supporting their President of the United States who was ELECTED by us to carry out the responsibilities as such/When there are so many NEEDS here in the good old USA......why in God's name and how in the world did we ever get to this place where it's the 'norm' for a BALL PLAYER...ONE WHO SHOOTS HOOPS..... not a scientist who studies and discovers revolutionary life changing things about the world we live in.to make it a better and safer place!...not a teacher who spends hours in and out of the classroom studying and transferring invaluable knowledge on to the next generation to equip them with the tools they so vitally need to succeed in this life.....BUT A BALL PLAYER....ONE WHO PLAYS WITH A BALL.... is HONORED, GLORIFIED AND EXTRAVAGANTLY SHOWERED WITH MORE MONEY IN ONE YEAR than an average person could earn (actually WORKING A REAL JOB!!!) IN nearly 600 years??????? Now, you tell me .... what's wrong with this picture and why in God's name are we encouraging and breeding these flagrant examples of 'what we want to be when we grow up' to any future generations??? Some things just have to change for life to even make 'sense' anymore. Is it possible? Probably not, because THE VOICES that are being heard today are ONLY those that have the most money. How sad.

You should see the money the owners, advertisers, stadiums and NIKE makes off of these athletes. Is this an anti-union mob. Let the owners make the money and the slaves just be happy to work.

only one player on this list is still playing, so my answer would be no. In a list of the top twenty players you would expect to see at least three guys who are still playing, instead you only have one. My opinion would be, the Heat got it right three of the top twenty players in the league all on one team and there are still playing, for this in my eyes means the Heat will be a competitor for many years to come.

Nobodys worth that much money unless you cure cancer or something like that. That's ridiculous that any person gets that much money in one year for putting a ball through a hoop. And then some of the sports people have the gall to go on strike for more money. In this day and age and this economy there should be a cap so the cost of the tickets and parking don't keep on going up. Please. If you can't live on one million dollars a year, you're just a greedy person.

Does anybody even know about tax? and like 6% goes to there agent,ect. and they could get fine 500,000 for saying one bad thing, this should be deducted from the salary that people see on paper
