Title: MU - NBA Money ranking...
Post by: SonofPianoMan on May 12, 2013, 04:10:05 PM
thanks to Wade, we snuck in... hopefully Jimmy f'n Butler gets paid soon. I guess I was a little surprised about UConn's ranking...

14. Marquette: $29,453,621 – 6 players

Marquette's inclusion is another example of how one superstar, in this case Dwyane Wade, can land you on this list. Wade's ridiculous salary (over $17 million) combined with modest (I realize how absurd the word sounds given the context) contributions from Wesley Matthews ($6.5 million) and Steve Novak ($4 million) accounts for almost all of the Golden Eagles' NBA paychecks. Jimmy Butler could be the next to get paid after emerging in the 2013 playoffs.

Not really surprised about UCONN for the same reason UK isn't number 1. UCONN has a lot of good players from earlier in the decade. Wait 4 years and UK will destroy this list.

It says 6 players I wonder who the sixth one their counting is because Lazar and DJO actually logged minutes this year but Jerel was the one who finished the year on contract.

Now compare it to the salaries of the players who skipped college. Kobe, Lebron, KG, Brandon Jennings, Dwight Howard, Amar'e. Crazy

Yeah, "University of None" is number 1 by miles.

UNC should jump significantly win Lawson and Barnes re-up their contracts.

The only one I was shocked by was Georgia Tech.  I knew Bosh went there but he only accounts for 17.5 of their 44 million.
