Fuck Yea[h] NBA
Um, the NBA players didn’t really lose in this new CBA deal if you look at it from a poor, Internet writer’s perspective, now did they? Via Bloomberg: The average National Basketball Association player’s salary will be near $8 million by the end of the pending 10-year labor agreement, according to union head Billy Hunter. Collective salaries for National Basketball Players Association members will grow to more than $3 billion by the 2020-21 season from $2.17 billion last season, Hunter told his players last night in a six-page letter detailing the proposed settlement of the group’s antitrust lawsuit against the league. A copy of the letter was obtained by Bloomberg News. NBA spokesman Tim Frank declined in an e-mail to comment on Hunter’s letter. This past season the average NBA salary dwarfed the other major professional sports (near $5.2 million/year on average), but basketball rosters only have 12 spots they need to fill, so there’s more money for the players. That being said, that average yearly figure is expected to balloon to near $8 million by 2020-21 when the decade long CBA expires. Not exactly chump change; although, we’re all still mourning Latrell Sprewell’s starving kids.
