ok, there good at wut they do
but look at basketball in general
theyre not doin nethin to help ne1 by playin basketball
in a way, ne1 wit a "real" job does more than they do
as 4 who deserves the money...
u kno how many lives cud be saved if ONE high-payed player (10mil+) donated ONE year's salary to a poor country
hate to use the cliche "in india people are dying", but its true
10 mill (thats 1 yr of bball, 1 player, not includin sponsorships, etc) cud be distributed as $10,000 for 1000 different people. u kno how much suttin that little to a bball player cud affect people's lives?
n wit all of american sports, all of the overpayed athletes, u kno how much money that is?
sports is a MULTIBILLION dollar industry
is entertaining americans that much more important then savin people's lives who are livin in hell just for bein born in the wrong place?
