    LeBron's never been the highest paid player on his team in 11 years?

    Seriously, can this be true?

    As reported by the Boston Globe this morning. I had to read it 3 times to be sure that I read it correctly.

    Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere here as I haven't been lurking as regularly.

    Definitely, I do respect that he doesn't ask for more and wants to win. Players get a lot of hate in the NBA no matter what they do. It's either all about the money or they leave to win championships, they can't win with fans. Melo stays home in NY, people hate him. LeBron chases rings, people hate him. He goes back home, people hate him.

    Simple, most average folk resent the coin they make for playing a game. Deep down I do.

    That's the truth. It is easy to say what others should do with their life and look down upon it either way.

    No different than when MJ was making 3 mil, theyll always get more off the court anyway so its not too big a deal to them.

    No I didnt forget, that was just the last couple years, he could have been getting far more than 3 mil, bottom line if Bron is supposed to be the best in the world, he should be getting be the highest paid, if he had no endorsements Im almost certain he would be the highest paid.
