Just so you know

Lebron, AD, KD and Steph Curry are all scheduled to be in the play in tournament: not conference finals, and not the nba finals.
Yes my friend the so called greatest player of the game, the greatest shooter of the game, the greatest pure scorer of the game etc oh and key players on your 2024 Olympic team.

Overpaid and overhyped

[Bush4Ever.]

Yes, that's happens when you have a supremely talented and deep league.

Superstars in their prime push out fading superstars who would have normally been on retirement's doorstep (Durant/Curry), or sprinted beyond it (Lebron) in the old days.

Joker-29
Joel-30
Giannis-29
Luka-25
SGA-25

Tatum-26
Brunson-27

None of those monikers for Lebron/Steph/KD would apply taking their play within the 2024 season in isolation.

If they are fading why are they among the highest paid?

If they are fading why are they among the highest paid?

Because there isn't a perfect correlation with pay and performance in the NBA? Because of contract timing, length, salary cap issues, playing unusually good in a contract year vs. unexpectedly bad, etc...

Is Bradley Beal the 6th best player in the NBA? Simmons the 20th? Tatum the 37th? Brunson the 53rd? SGA 34th?

I think the real question (with respect to today's Era) is: Are the players overpaid because they're overhyped, or are they overhyped because they're overpaid?

Objectively speaking, I'd say it's a little of both on average.

When is the last time you actually watched a basketball game? Your takes are generally so incredibly stupid that I chalk it up to not watching. Nobody could actually really be that disconnected from a sport they actually watch, could they?

AD signed that ridiculous contract last year and Lebron is scheduled to sign 3 years $163 mill in the off season. Thr lakers will be having 2 years of play in.

Lebron has been pure hype since landing in LA. The hype train is ridiculous.
