damn so much truth.

Muhammad Bean Ali always spitting gospel.

100% correct.

The disparity between the revenue they bring in for the franchise/league compared to the salary they are compensated with is a joke.

I have nothing negative to say about Kobe signing that $48mil/2yr deal. It might not have been in the best interest of the team, but fukk the team. The owners purposely created an artificially low salary cap in order to pay less money to players this past CBA. Guys like Kobe, LeBron, and Durant should have no regard for the billionaire white owners sitting in luxury boxes counting stacks while they pay their players pennies.

If ANYONE was underpaid EXCEPT for his last 3 years in the league it was Jordan. Go back and look at dudes contracts, all of his bread came from endorsements.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

But they got a point compared to the owners

 

[Jplaya2023]

Kobe is right but when u have a cap in place u can't pay them what their worth.

 

[Darealtwo1]

kobe should be getting around 40-50million a year. same with lebron and KD.

 

[Spaceman Piff]

lebron should get a portion of Cleveland's tax dollars.

 

[The War Report]

kobe should be getting around 40-50million a year

You know what year it is, right?

 

[Jesus]

You know what year it is, right?

Regardless and I hate Kobe...

 

[Family Lives Matter]

Think about how much money these stars generate Kobe just trying to uplift our black brothers

 

[CodeBlaMeVi]

Preach! I guarantee these cacs aren't hiring our people.

 

[Ziggiy]

Kobe with 100% truth

Exactly my dude, i was trying to explain this to a co-worker and he wasn't getting it. Its laughable when i hear athletes should play for the love of the game. Then you should work because you like working... yeah right

regardless

I never want to see a NBA without a salary cap. parity is bad enough - people really want to see the NBA's problems combined with MLB's?
