Just seen Udonis Haslem’s crib off The Players Tribune YouTube and WOW. Dude lives in a mega mansion in Florida. He’s earned $63million in salary. Not the most for a modern NBA player at the end of his career but he is living nice.

After all owners are perceived as evil billionaires and they should pass their wealth to players.


A solution to a non-problem? There really isn't a problem here. NBA players universally make enough money to not live paycheck to paycheck. If they are living in such a way it is of their own perogative. There's no need to look for a solution for something that isn't a problem.

Edit: nvmd lol... I see now that this was most.likely sarcastic.
