NBA players are the most overpaid athletes on the planet. Average players make more than elite football/baseball/soccer players. Cristiano Ronaldo will make about $22 million in salary this season. Chandler Parsons makes more.

You should look at MLB contracts sometime

Overrated white guy but Parsons has the potential to be a star on a lesser team like Memphis. Obviously not if he's hurt.
It's the worst active contract I can think of in any of the leagues I watch. Total bust.

There are like 11 guys in MLB who make more money than Chandler Parsons. Half of them will be first ballot HOF guys

Evan Turner's is probably still worse. There's still a chance that Chandler Parsons can stop being injured 24/7 and become all star caliber, Evan Turner has hit his peak as a shitty bench player and hes making 70 million.

Maybe but NBA teams only have 15 players to pay compared to other leagues and a huge TV deal and ad revenue to help pay for those players. Guys like Parsons are also extremely fortunate to have been a free agent these past two years. More big salaries will come in the near future with the CBA renegotiation, too. But in two years salaries will normalize a bit.
But rather I think it says something about how little other leagues pay their players. Someone like Ronaldo, if anything, is underpaid.
Member like five years ago when everyone complained about Joe Johnson's $22 million salary? It's funny how much the big contracts have grown in such a short amount of time.

It's all that Disney/Turner money thanks to the new TV deal

Not that many are making what he is per year guaranteed. Plus baseball players spend literally 1/3rd of the year playing baseball games, and that's not counting travel or practice.
One year I remember the Cardinals played every single day one month in the summer.
