  1. They make a lot of money! But somewhat for an self explanatory reason. Just running back and forth and made a million dollars. He makes more then most doctors. They actually help save people's life on the other hand.

  2. I don't feel that basketball players make too much money. Over the course of his 18 years of playing, Kobe Bryant has made 323 million dollars. I feel that is an exceptional amount of money that he properly deserved.

  3. No I feel like basketball players do not make too much money. Basketball players and professional athletes in general possess a special talent that not many people have. They possess a talent that people pay millions of dollars a year to witness. Saying that professional athletes make too much money is just like saying actors and CEOs of corporations make too much money. They worked hard and perfected their craft to be able to complete task the average person can't complete. The only con to basketball players earning too much money is that they are very stupid with their spending and saving,

  5. I don't think that professional basketball players make too much money. It's their jobs and it's more than just playing basketball when you're in the NBA. You are a celebrity also, you have to act a certain way in public and you also have to perform at a high level. All basketball players don't get paid millions of dollars and all players don't have signature shoes that they could make millions from.

  6. i don't think a professional can make too much money. Its something they have been working hard and practice their whole life for. and to get in their position there is competition and sacrifices you have to go through. especially since he got his own deal with Nike to help get more money, a professional can never have too much money.

  7. though he made a lot of money i dont think he made enough over course of his career. though you can learn basketball kobe had talent true talent and he only made $323 million, now thats more than i have right now but over 18 years, they should pay him more.

  9. I do think basketball players make a lot of money then they need to.First of all that is to much money for one person to make in a year.They are just playing a sport even though it is for their living.People are out here well educated and don,t even get half or a quarter of what he is getting just from playing basketball.I feel like that is just to much.Kobe Bryant is one of the best and yes I know but still that is just too much money for him or any other basketball player to be paid.

  12. I honestly don't think basketball players make too much money. just like every one else they get payed for there job and it just happens to be there's is a sport well known in america.The income of these players are high because that what the job offers not every basketball payer have endorsements and ads for shoes.nor does every player make high income.

  13. in my opinion i don't think so,they get paid to make big time plays and win the organization some championships and not everyone can make them type of plays and win a championship for their organization.

  14. I don't feel like basketball players make to much money because really majority of their money comes from self endorsement and for basketball players who widely popular they know they can make money by just about doing anything. Basketball isn't their only job that's why they inquire so much money. Thats why players like Michael Jordan Kobe Bryant Patrick Ewing Steve Kerr Shaq Magic Johnson Charles Barkley and many others stay so wealthy its not just what they do on the court its what they do off the court. They work just as hard as a regular person with a average job

  15. no i don't think basketball players make too much money. they worked hard to get successful and to get to where they are. if they earned then i dont think its too much, but that's just my opinion.

  17. They make a lot of money! But somewhat for an self explanatory reason. Just running back and forth and made a million dollars. He makes more then most doctors and some of the money that basketball players get can be used to research cures for common diseases and things that might be un-treatable

  18. They make a lot of money but for a very obvious reason, their raw talent and skill at what they do. Most Basketball in the NBA had to go through rigorous training to be where they are now. That stuff is not easy, and now the NBA is one of the most watched networks of all time, so its no surprise the players make a lot of money. Its not like they just walked in there and started playing and just like that they got millions of dollars, no, they had to work hard to get where they are now.

  19. Kobe Bryant has made very good money playing basketball but to say that he should not have made that much money seems like an attack on capitalism. Bryant made that much money because that is the kind of money that basketball as a whole generates.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Kobe Bryant is a good negotiator & business man. With that being said he made the right choices in how he branded himself. Being one of the best basketball players the world has ever know there is no surprise on how much money he is making. He worked hard to get where he is.

  21. I don't think that basketball players make too much money, they make a lot money due to the fact they are in a good profession. Being an athlete or even a basketball player is a hardworking job and I believe they deserve what they get paid.

  22. i think the deserve everything they are given because they work for it just like anyone else but players work harder for what they want.

  23. no how could they make too much?? you can never make to much money to me personally.

  24. Basketball players don't even make that much money to be complaining about it. I mean that's their job they usually move from state to state, and they have a reputation to keep up with to get endorsements and all of that.

  25. I think the longer you play/work in the basketball part of the sports business the more money you get

    ReplyDelete
  26. Depends how hard they work/worked. Kobe worked real hard to earn his money, so maybe they are being payed ok, but then it all depends on how hard they work.

    ReplyDelete
  27. No they worked there whole lives to get to this point and now there being rewarded.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I mean if you play for a whole bunch of different teams and travel a lot you get paid for what you do in your job so no I don't think so. It just depends on the job.

  29. He's almost in his 40's. Of course at some point, he'll be retiring. It kinda sad to see famous basketball player retiring because of they're age, but a least he'll have alot of money. There for, he'll have something to do and to have in life. I don't even know how he's getting this much money for playing basketball.

  30. I don't think basketball players make too much money because they earned it. They're away from home and missing their family so i think they deserve to have the amount of money they do. They also work hard enough for it .

  36. Most basketball players overall budget is most likely an estimate of over 4 million dollars, but for those who are more popular with the people, like Micheal Jordan and the recently announced, soon-to-be retiree, Kobe Bryant, they make a whole lot more. Much of the reason why such players like these have success in financial gain is not only because of popularity, but also on their sales of personal merchandise, as people like these are idolized for their contribution to sports.

  37. I think that he earns the amount of money that should be given to him. He has been in the league for a very long time and has accomplished many things in his career. Therefore he should be payed the amount that he is being paid.

  39. No, I feel like Kobe Bryant don't make too much money as a professional basketball player. I state this because he been in the game longer than I been born. After 20 years he should be getting paid well especially from helping the Lakers get their championship rings.

  40. I think a professional basketball player should make much more money cause I think they deserve a higher amount then they earn right now.

  43. Yes, they make a lot of money but they don't earn too much. I think it's ok that they get this amount of money. It's also the same in other sports like soccer. But these players are very important for the teams or for companies which want them for their commercials. The teams and companies earn so much money with these players, so it's just fair that they get fairly paid.

  54. I don't think basket ball players make too much money. I mean in order for them to make it in the NBA they have to be like really good right? I think Kobe is just getting what he deserves as he worked hard. Not to mention that but he has many sponsors, so in conclusion, no he is not making too much money.

  59. People pay for what they want to see and when you spend the money you get a lot out of your investment. Basketball players don't get paid as much as there making it seem. Not all Basketball players are making millions getting shoe deals or on commercials. The amount there getting is enough they can't just take money when the feel people have families and expenses to worry about. There pay check is fine.

  67. No i feel that basketball players earned all that money far and square. The players are sometimes challenged with tough enduring injuries. They also are hard working individuals that put all there time and effort into what they do. Kobe Bryant is a prime example of hard work and dedication. They did all that to be able to maintain them self and family with all the money they earned.

  70. Basketball players who are not stars or important starters on their team should not be signing multi million dollar contracts for multiple reasons, one basketball is not even the most popular sport in the us, two basketball players chances to getting hurt due to the rules and regulations of basketball, it not like their risking future injuries like football, basketball players don't even lift weights. Basketball players that are not very important to their team should not be getting a big check.

  71. I don't think the starting players make too much money. The people tat normally sit on the bench should not make as much money as the starting players. The starting players face many injuries, and some injuries may end their careers. In my opinion I think they make the right amount, because of all the injuries they face and how much work they put in. Basketball players work for their money, it's their professions and they make the right amount to me.

  73. Basketball players make a tremendous amount of money. They certainly deserve it for dealing with both the game and the amount of people they have to deal with in both real life and on social networks they're signed up to, but their jobs as entertainers (mind you, it literally is for entertainment purposes) and athletes does not qualify them for these types of high salaries. In other valued professions that are valued in our society to keep balance, those professions are paid exponentially less than the players. I'd rather the educators, doctors, and other influences on America make at least half their salaries.

  74. No I don't feel like basketball players make to much money. Majority of their money comes from endorsements from shoes deal with companys like nike, adidas, and etc. For basketball players who are more popular or better they know they can make money by doing anything. Basketball isn't their only job that's why they inquire so much money for instance players like Michael Jordan Kobe Bryant Patrick Ewing Steve Kerr Shaq Magic Johnson Charles Barkley and many others stay so wealthy its not just what they do on the court its what they do off the court.

  75. I dont think so because they are entertainers just like actors and such. they are just like other people on TV. They should really make more money because the risk their life due to injuries and lose family time for people entertainment

  76. Mia Reddick.

    Personally, I don't think there is a such thing as making too much money. When a person works hard for their money and dedicated to every obstacle, of course they will receive their blessings. Therefore, I don't think basketball players make too much money , they make enough for their hard work and dedication. Whether it is a famous basketball player or a doctor , the much time and effort to put into your everyday work will determine your reward at the end of time. So of course , a person will be granted a nice check, that will make a wealthy lifestyle for them.
