[Marty McFly]

Puppetry of the *****.

The players are going to get ****** on whatever deal happens. Look at the NFL, the owners were making bank, and they still managed to get an even more favorable deal.

 

[Beantown]

Thank the Godhead that our players are young cause there won't be basketball for quite sometime.

 

[NUMBERICA]

Everyone heard about this pre-emptive lawsuit, right?

This is going really, really well.

It's time to make yourselves more productive for a year, everyone.

Too bad I am not a part of the 'regular' folk. I am a certified basketball addict.

I read on ESPN that Stern makes anywhere from 15-23 million dollars annually. That is ridiculous.

 

[northeast]

Some of the stars make much more than that including endorsements.

It's good to be king.

I don't remember the last time I watched an NBA game hoping to see King David. It was probably...never.

That's a pretty high hourly billing rate, eh, kicky ?

Here's a source for King David's rich remuneration:

(On the bright side: it gives him motivation to get this deal done.
But then again, maybe he's on the player plan, drawing a paycheck until October or November <<sigh>>.)

And how many of these 'some' make this much annually for 30 years?

 

[Beantown]

Yea I hear Stern makes 500,000 PER team.

Right. Almost all of them during the prime of their career. Maybe a 5-8 year window max.

Stern has been making loot since before you were born.

and did you hear Goodell refused his pay during the NFL lockout... NOT:

With the NFL lockout coming to a close on Monday, sources close to both the NFL and NFLPA indicate that Commissioner Roger Goodell and Exec. Director DeMaurice Smith will be receive pay retroactively that they voluntarily refused during the work stoppage.

next we'll find out they're getting paid interest too.

My point is his peak earning years are much much much longer than an NBA All Star's.
