Charles Barkley's Sidekick Kenny Smith Says NO NBA Player Right Now Is Worth The Money They Get

I watched the whole interview, Kenny smith is a cool[..] nicca. Dude was speaking the truth though but in retrospect know how much surgery's cost now days makes a ton of sense on paying these nba plays that money. [pic]

so its okay for owners to make billions but its wrong for players to get paid right? Every corporation's highest talents get paid good money, you do know that the NBA employs more people than just players and they're not all making millions right??? Do you know how hard it would be to play and own a team at the same time?? use your brain, players workout 3 times a day and barely have time to see their families let alone run a billion dollar enterprise during a 82 game season plus playoffs. Show me a profession where you HAVE to be among the best in the world just to get hired and then constantly fight off the worlds best competition from taking your spot and i guarantee you their gettin paid good money. You comparing and NBA player to below average teachers who can't even get their students to graduate is beyond retarded, You need a lesson in life

This is why the owners make the money they make. They have huge responsibilities. If the players cannot manage those responsibilities and risk their own money, then they should get paid less. I already offered a good solution. The players can buy some of the team. The owner would still run the team, but the players would share some of the risk. As a reward, they would share the profits as well. That is the fair balance.

As for professions. Do you have any idea how hard it is to become best in your profession. I am not talking about teachers, I did not even mention teachers. I am talking about mainly scientists and engineers. You know, the people who actually make this world progress in terms of technological advancement and medical advancement. You are the one who needs a lesson in life cause you obviously do not understand how it works. If you think just anybody can develop a vaccine or cure then you are the retarded person. If you think just anybody can come up with new theories in physics or biology, which leads to advancements in technology, then you are the retarded person.

Grow the f*ck up and learn how the business world works. There are exceptional people many fields out in the business world who cannot be replaced easily. You think IQ can application of that IQ can just be learned by going to school and studying? It does not work that way. Only a few extremely mentally talented people can bring true advancements into this world. Those people are paid crumbs compared to athletes. I already mentioned the designer of the Iphone for instance. I see you completely ignored that one.

You guys overvalue athletic ability and extremely undervalue intellectual ability.

who cares what these old flabby bald niccas think

NBA players are the most UNDERPAID players in professional sports. Thats why there is a salary cap, to depress values. Kobe should be making $75 million a year. Im not talking out my[..] its his value determined by sports economist for his worth to the lakers. So yes you have the mid tier and very good players overpaid a bit, but the superstars should all be making at least 40 million a year.

This is why the owners make the money they make. They have huge responsibilities. If the players cannot manage those responsibilities and risk their own money, then they should get paid less. I already offered a good solution. The players can buy some of the team. The owner would still run the team, but the players would share some of the risk. As a reward, they would share the profits as well. That is the fair balance.

Why do mcdonalds employees get paid? All they do is flip burgers
