Even if you adjust it for inflation it's only $300K.

I'm sure as a percentage of team profits it was significantly higher than what players make today

and how the fukk did this dude get that? :
#certgang brehs making way more than that
In 1960they didnt have big TV deals, or shoe contracts, or million dollar endorsements. 37K in 1960 when the team probably made less than $1 million all year is pretty good.
The NBA wasn't anywhere near where it was in the 80s much less the 90s. Thank Michael Jordan. The Tiger Woods of the sport in terms of pay.

You're welcome, breh. Now you know the exact amount a premier NBA player made and have proof in W-2 form.
I wonder how much the teams were making back then?

The Cost of Housing: 1050% Higher than 1970 and Climbing
Warning: Do not try to read this if you are not wide awake and sober. The staggering number of statistics will cause mental short circuits. Author is not responsible for “fried brain” or other problems associated with excessive statistics.
Consider these sobering statistics. In 1960, a new house would cost around $16,500. Ten years later in 1970, a new house would cost around $26,500. The cost of a new house went up $1,000 per year. The national inflation rate ranged from 1.4% in 1960 to 6.5% in 1970. Unemployment ranged from 5.5% in 1960 to 3.5% in 1970. Obviously, the 1960s were a fairly stable decade with little change in most key indicators. The highest level the Dow hit in 1960 was 685 and the highest it hit in 1970 was 842. The average price for a gallon of gas in 1960 was .31 and in 1970 it was .36.
In 1960, the median household income was $5,600. To put these statistics in proper perspective; a new home would cost the average family three times its annual income. By 1970, the median household income had grown to $8,730 or 55.9%. Guess what? It would still cost the average family three times its annual income to get a new home.
