Fuck Yea[h] NBA
The NBA’s Highest-Paid Players - Forbes.com Of all those guys, at least KG and Duncan have won something.  Take the second highest-paid player in the game: Orlando Magic forward Rashard Lewis. Lewis signed a $118 million, six-year deal in 2007 that pays him $20.5 million this season. Lewis scored 14 points a game last year and averaged 4.5 rebounds. ESPN’s John Hollinger devised a player efficiency rating, which had Lewis ranked 48th out of 71 power forwards last season. Lewis has no right being in the league’s financial elite. He deserves closer to the NBA average salary of $5 million which would mean a 75% pay cut. You wonder why Orlando is Orlando.  He absolutely DISAPPEARED last year against Boston.  Not even in a Lebron way, because he just failed to show up completely.  It’s a testament to the ineptitude of Orlando’s front office.
